ENGR 30301 Engineering Executive Forum Course

ENGR 30301 - What it is: 2 credits, meets every other Friday 10:30-11:20 in WALC. Every session is a Purdue engineering alum who started technical and ended up running things. Students get to meet them in class but also before and after for small group meals (8am bfast or 12pm lunch). What students actually talk about is the access. Small-group breakfasts and lunches with the speaker, asking questions directly, real conversations. Two lines from last term's students:

"It wasn't a lecture - it was real mentorship."

"The guest speakers didn't just talk about success - they gave real frameworks for decision-making and leadership that I'm already applying to my own career choices."

Students also get to learn fundamentals of finance and compete in a team business simulation game for fun! It's also the gateway course for the Springer Engineering Business Experience Certificate. Open to Engineering/CS/IBE Majors.
