Professional development is a hallmark of the mechanical engineering program at CU Boulder. We believe in providing students with training and opportunities that will help them to excel both in the classroom and professionally too. Professional development opportunities in the mechanical engineering department are supported by Student Experiential Education (SEE).
Undergraduate students must fulfill professional development requirements in order to graduate. These requirements are meant to prepare you for a successful career by providing opportunities to explore mechanical engineering as a field and build skills related to searching for a job, teamwork, communication, networking and professional and ethical responsibility.
Graduate students must fulfill Professional Development Program (PDP) requirements in order to graduate. This program and other available resources support the development of well-rounded graduate students who are prepared to excel in their careers. Students are encouraged to attend a wide variety of available seminars, colloquia and workshops delivered by notable engineering leaders in education, research and industry.
