Prosper From Industry Partnerships:
Engineering, like medicine or law, is a professional discipline, where emerging engineers should not only hold a degree, but also have practical training and an understanding of the responsibilities that come with this career. Engineering is also a highly dynamic discipline, and partnerships with industry are needed to help shape the curriculum as trends change, as well as give students access to the experience of being an engineer.
The Henry Samueli School of Engineering prides itself on the role industry plays in its academic education. Representatives from industry participate in evaluating and developing the objectives for each of the engineering undergraduate majors by helping to determine the topics and values that are most relevant to employers. Industry partners also provide regular, detailed feedback on how UCI engineers are prepared and perform in the first few years following graduation.
