A brief introduction, using guest speakers and case studies, to show how engineering is used in industry. This seminar course will be taken twice by students in the program. Mechanical engineering majors in their first spring semester will take this course and then will take it again in the spring semester before completing the senior capstone. This will lead to upperclassmen taking this course at the same time as students early in the program. Each spring, both groups of students will take this class concurrently in the same room and be exposed to the same speakers, workshops, and information sessions. This approach provides an insight into internships and curriculum and creates a bridge between the cohorts allowing for mentorship and interaction between the two student groups.
