These seminars are coordinated with the requirements of Engr. 294/394 in mind. See description below. While it may be geared for students currently in the engineering program, the Calvin Community and general public are always welcome to attend.
Engineering 294/394 (0 credit) A seminar devoted to an exploration of topics in engineering. Seminars will cover areas such as the practice of engineering design, non-technical issues in engineering practice, engineering graduate studies, and aspects of engineering analysis. Students will receive transcript recognition for Engineering 294 if they attend eight (8) seminars before being admitted to a BSE concentration and will receive transcript recognition for Engineering 394 if they attend eight (8) seminars after being admitted toa BSE concentration. Plant tours and technical society meetings may be substituted for seminars upon approval. Engr. 294 is NOT a prerequisite for Engr. 394. Honors students are required to have transcript recognition for either Engr. 294 or 394. NOTE: For students entering Calvin in the fall of 2009 or later 294 is a requirement for full admission and 394 is a requirement for graduation.
See Calvin's Visitor Resources for maps and directions to the Science Building.
