Awardees must enroll in the Professional and Personal Enrichment Seminar every semester. These seminars have been specially created to foster a strong cooperative community amongst the scholars. The seminars meet for one hour every week during the semester.
The series of seminars for SEECS students is built around a curriculum addressing both the professional and personal growth of the students. Each semester includes a design component, a professional development component and a personal development component. The design project enables the SEECS students to provide a solution to an engineering problem faced by a local non-profit organization. Examples of completed projects and works-in-progress are available under Publications.
The following two tables describe the professional and personal components of the seminar.
