In addition to standard laband project reports, during the senior year, students are required to take the mechanicalengineering seminar class and write a half-page summary discussing what they gained fromlistening to presenters from industry. Each week a presenter shares his or her professionalexperience with the seminar class and talks about career paths, ethics, continuing education, andthe “dos” and “don’ts” of a professional. The summaries are read for both content and proper useof grammar and sentence structure, and points are deducted for improper use of grammar andmisspelled words.
