One of the most effective ways to engage our students is to meet them. We have many different avenues, including: information sessions, career fairs, office hours, industry round tables and showcases, panels, and on-campus interviews. We have also facilitated office visits (virtual and physical), and career talks. Please contact our team for details.

The Professional Development and Leadership (PDL) program’s goal is to enhance the Columbia Engineering education by providing enrichment and development opportunities. The PDL program takes a number of forms at Columbia Engineering including sessions featuring leading industry professionals. For more information, contact us.

Real-world, hands-on experience is valuable to our students. Many of our programs feature courses to specifically allow students to immediately engage with industry clients to solve their business and operational challenges. Students select projects to gain industry experience while taking courses. Contact Dr. Jenny Mak at [email protected] to get started.
