WHAT ARE THE ACADEMIC SESSIONS?
WHAT ARE THE ACADEMIC SESSIONS?
The academic sessions are lectures where all or part of the senior class will be introduced to aspects of the program as well as theory and resources for navigating their projects and future careers.
Being successful on a team working on a complex project is far more involved than execution of engineering and scientific theory. Success involves appropriate application of communication, conflict-resolution, organization, logistics, time-management, budgeting, resource planning, and much more. Within the academic sessions, the program seeks to introduce a number of these types of concepts that may be new to students as well as point students to resources that may further their knowledge as needed in their unique paths through the program.
WHEN ARE THE ACADEMIC SESSIONS & WHO ATTENDS?
WHEN ARE THE ACADEMIC SESSIONS & WHO ATTENDS?
For engineering disciplines the academic sessions are a series of lectures within ENSC 491/492 which can be found on the program calendar.
For computer science disciplines, many of these concepts are introduced through the CPSC 491 (Software Engineering) lecture class with some senior-design-specific lectures.
Students are expected to attend these lectures according to the published calendar.
Project advisors, Design Advisory Board members, and liaisons are not expected to attend these lectures and are encouraged not to without special request due to space limitations.
