enroll in a one-credit course next quarter, in which you will produce
a portfolio that communicates your preparedness for professional
engineering. (*All engineering and comp. sci. students are invited to
enroll. Pre-major undergraduates intending to major in engineering or
comp. sci. are also welcome.)
Engineering Professional Portfolio Studio
ENGR 498 C/D/E, 2011 Spring
Section C on Tuesdays, 3:305:20 pm
Section D on Wednesdays, 3:305:20 pm
Section E on Thursdays, 2:304:20 pm
(Meeting rooms are not yet decided.)
Past portfolio studio students have described the sessions as uniquely
valuable for preparing for job applications/interviews and graduate
school admissions. They also said they benefited from the chance to
identify, reflect on, and integrate their engineering learning
experiences and professional goals. Here are some student quotes:
"Oh, yes. I would totally encourage people to do this portfolio
project, because sometimes we forget what we did, and we don’t have a
track back to see what we’ve been through, you know, since the
beginning of the college time…This portfolio is like online scrapbook
of your career."
"I can use [portfolios] in another application or another interview. I
mean I can always use information that I’ve already thought about and
written, maybe for grad school application or just be more prepared in
a job interview, I’ve already thought about what my strengths are and
how I can be a valuable team asset."
This studio is offered as a course meeting in five, two-hour sessions.
This is a one-credit course, and grading will be credit/no-credit. See
the web site for the current quarter's offering for details:
