Professional Engineering (PE)
Available to: First-year students interested in engineering careers
Located in: Granite Pass
Professional Engineering Living Learning Communities (PE LLCs) are intended for first-year students interested in engineering careers.
Students in the PE LLCs will enroll in SPRK 010 Cornerstone Engineering Design in Fall 2026 and ENGR 096 in Spring 2027. In addition to taking these courses, students in the PE LLCs will engage in communal learning and career development experiences such as workshops, panel discussions and collaborative projects. Beginning the 2024-25 academic year, the PE LLC will be affiliated with the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), whose members will provide peer support for first-year students to socially adjust and academically succeed as engineering majors. Please note that members of the LLC are required to be enrolled in the SPRK 010 and ENGR 096 course and attend professional development events outside of class. These events include workships, talks, panels, etc.
