Engaged Engineers
The purpose of the Engaged Engineers program is to recognize the students who go beyond coursework and research to engage with the College of Engineering on a broader level. This serves as an opportunity for employers to see which students have a special dedication to service excellence. Points will be awarded for qualifying events and digital badges can be obtained at each point level.
