Professionalism Institute
Overview
Initiated in Fall of 2009, the Professionalism Institute in the Department of Mechanical Engineering seeks to prepare students to practice engineering as professionals who strive for excellence with integrity and treat others with respect.
Graduation Requirements
The requirements of this program presently depend upon the year in which students entered the department.
- For the incoming Freshman class of 2010 or later, students must attend a total of 8 events prior to graduation.
- For the incoming Freshman class of 2009, students must attend a total of 6 events prior to graduation.
- Incoming students from earlier than Fall 2009 are exempt.
- Transfer students must attend a total number of events discounted by the average number they would have attended if they started their degree at CU. For example, a student transfering at the Sophomore level in 2011 would be required to attend 6 events.
