PROGRAM Office

first-year ENGINEERING

Making a world of difference for first-year engineering students engineering.pitt.edu/firstyear The First-Year Engineering Program Office assists students with academic and cocurricular counsel and advice. This includes registration, selection of major, career development, university policies and resources, and more. Advisors collaborate with faculty who teach the integrated first-year curriculum to better monitor student academic progress, and meet once each month to review student success. All first-year engineering students pursue a common academic program consisting of mathematics, chemistry, physics, and humanities/social science electives. Students also take two specifically designed engineering-oriented courses and a first-year engineering seminar. These courses give students an introduction to all engineering disciplines in a variety of ways through interaction with faculty, alumni, and through their own research. At the end of the second term, all students participate in The First-Year Conference, which includes a conference research paper and presents their paper to their peers, alumni, family and faculty. All first-year students also attend diversity training as part of a requirement in first-year engineering seminar. This is an interactive training session conducted and coordinated in part by our diversity office. After the student has successfully completed all classes and achieved a cumulative GPA of at least a 2.0 at the end of the first year, he or she may select the major of their choice. The First Year Advisors then transition their role to the student’s faculty advisor who is appointed after the student selects their major.

University Honors college Entering first-year students may be eligible to take honors classes based on their high school academic profile. Other interested students are encouraged to seek special permission from the Honors College Staff. Students enrolled in the program take University Honors College courses that substitute for regular required course offerings. Students may enroll in all honors courses or a combination of courses.

student Services Cooperative Education Office engineering.pitt.edu/coop The Cooperative Education Program (co-op) is a partnership between the employer, university, and student that provides relevant work assignments for the students at the undergraduate level. Co-op integrates a rotation of school and employment terms that enables the cooperative education student to complement his or her formal classroom training with additional technical knowledge, hands-on experience, and financial remuneration. Currently over 200 companies nationwide participate in Pitt’s co-op program, and students earn a maximum of three credits which can be used toward departmental graduation requirements. The average salary is around $2,700+ per month. Students complete a minimum of three rotations and graduate with 12 months or more of experience from the same company.

Office of Career Development and Placement Assistance (CDPA) studentaffairs.pitt.edu/cdpa The Career Development Office includes an Engineering Career Consultant who helps to prepare students for life after graduation by assisting with selecting a major, resume/cover letter writing, interviewing skills, applying to graduate school and more. An Employment Development Specialist within the Office Career Development and Placement Assistance (CDPA) helps students gain internship and full-time employment opportunities through services such as job fairs and FutureLinks, the University of Pittsburgh’s comprehensive job and internship posting and much more.

Engineering International Programs engineering.pitt.edu/international Engineers can make a world of difference, and that’s why the Swanson School of Engineering encourages students to consider a study abroad program for up to four weeks, a summer, a full semester or full academic year. All options allow students to earn academic credit toward their engineering degree program. International research and internship opportunities for engineering students are also available; many with scholarship and fellowship opportunities. Student organizations such as Engineers Without Borders and Engineers for a Sustainable World develop service learning projects around the world. Plus 3 www.abroad.pitt.edu/plus3 Plus3 is a two-week, three-credit study abroad experience designed for first-year engineering and business students. It allows students to travel to one of four countries, where they will tour local and multi-national companies, attend lectures, and interact with students from the host university. During the two weeks students

Pitt Excel Program engineering.pitt.edu/diversity The Pitt EXCEL Program is a comprehensive undergraduate diversity initiative committed to the recruitment, retention and graduation of academically excellent engineering undergraduates, particularly individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in the field. Program activities include academic counseling, tutoring, peer mentoring, engineering research and mentoring opportunities, graduate school preparation and career development workshops, as well as a two week intensive study skills, math and science review for incoming first-year students. In addition, a diversity training workshop, managed by the Engineering Office of Diversity, is mandatory for all first-year engineering students and is organized through their first-year engineering seminar.

Some of the programming offered to Pitt EXCEL students includes: Summer Engineering Academy (SEA) The Summer Engineering Academy is a two-week residential program that helps students to make a smooth transition from high school to college. During SEA, students interact with various university offices, industry representatives, learn essential study skills for college and receive an intensive review of calculus, chemistry and physics concepts, with an introduction to engineering problem solving. By attending this program, students can prepare for success during their first year of college. Summer Research Internship (SRI) The Summer Research Internship program is a nine-week research experience for undergraduates and it focuses on the preparation of underrepresented students for graduate education and professional careers in engineering. Through the experience, students are paired with a faculty mentor, work on a summer research project, write a journal quality paper and produce a 20-minute presentation on their research experience at the conclusion of the program.

will be immersed in a variety of dynamic educational and cultural activities. Being that a main objective of the program is for students to perform research on a company that is unlike those found in the U.S., they will have the opportunity to visit and research a wide variety of businesses. Currently Plus3 participants have the option of choosing between the following four locations: Germany, Chile, Vietnam and China.

student Organizations and groups engineering.pitt.edu/student_organizations Our students have many interests involved with engineering and beyond, and you’ll have the opportunity to participate in variety of academic and co-curricular activities. Student organizations like the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Biomedical Engineering Society interact with their professional peers and often travel to conferences to participate in the latest research. Groups like the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) and the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) encourage diverse populations to explore how they can further impact the field of engineering, as well as to network with their peers. All three student organizations sponsor an annual national conference that provides exemplary networking, professional development and graduate school preparation opportunities. Some groups like Engineers Without Borders focus on the sustainable impact of engineering solutions in developing countries, while others like Panther Racing and the Panther Amateur Radio Club apply their skills in distinctive competitions. And of course there are the longstanding engineering fraternities, sororities and honor societies that further build a sense of engineering community.

The Golden Triangle, The Steel City, The City of Bridges, and The City of Champions. As a Pitt student, you’ll get to know it as home. That’s one of the great things about Pittsburgh – for a city its size, it has more amenities and attributes than some larger cities. World-class arts organizations, collegiate and professional sports teams, walkable neighborhoods, a diverse business climate and consistent safety rankings make it a distinctive place to study and live. No wonder Pittsburgh has been recognized as the most livable city in the U.S. by The Economist, one of the best places in the world to visit by National Geographic Traveler, and even one of the top ten most beautiful places in America by USA Today Weekend Magazine. One of the advantages of being a student at Pitt is our proximity to nine colleges and universities in the city, including our other research institution, Carnegie Mellon University. These schools are home to almost 80,000 full- and part-time students enrolled in an array of programs. The universities not only partner academically but also programmatically, so it’s common to see students from other schools at a football game or theater performance, as well as in the classroom or lab. That’s because through cross-registration, any full-time student can enroll in one course per semester at another institution, with prior academic approval. The quality of life for the average Pittsburgh resident also extends to students. You’ll be able to explore the city and its surroundings because Pitt provides free access to all Port Authority buses, light-rail transit in the city. (You can even use your Pitt ID to ride one of two “inclines” from Station Square to Mount Washington.) Or you can get discounted tickets to anything from the opera to a Pittsburgh Penguins game. And if you’re really adventurous, you can hop on your bike and ride the newly completed Great Allegheny Passage from Pittsburgh to Washington DC. Or you can just spend a quiet afternoon studying in one of the City’s many public parks – most of which are a short walk or bus ride away. Just like your academic career at Pitt, your life in Pittsburgh will be an experience to remember. You can learn more about Pittsburgh at imaginepittsburgh.com and visitpittsburgh.com.
