EE470: Senior Seminar

   

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)
