Engineering leadership and entrepreneurial spirit

Hands-on student experiences ignite understanding and inspire careers

That’s why we’ve launched Catalyst – an initiative to support expanded student learning opportunities outside the classroom.

Engineering students will develop their professional skills through:

  • hands-on leadership training,
  • new mentoring programs,
  • increased national and global learning experiences,
  • enhanced support for clubs and teams,
  • and new entrepreneurial training opportunities.

Helping all of our students grow as young professionals is part of our commitment to enhancing the student experience.
