The senior seminar is designed to provide graduating cadets with skills
necessary to help locate employment opportunities, evaluate offered
positions relative to other “hot areas” for electrical engineers, and
interview/negotiate salary. The seminar will also expose cadets to important
aspects of professional life (e.g. role of the IEEE, how to obtain patents,
is graduate school for you? why obtain a P.E.?) that are not covered in
other courses. Cadets will choose an area from several current fast-hiring
branches of electrical engineering, research the field from the view of a
prospective hire, and present their findings in a formal written and power
point presentation to the class. (1/2 credit hour)
