Why Industry Partnerships
Matter - How to Help

• Guest LecturesVisitors from industry help students relate classroom content to real world applications answering the question..."Now why am I learning this?"
• Tours, Internships and JobsSeeing the actual work environment first hand, plus having the chance to actually work in a company prior to graduation provides students with a wide range of "what is possib;e" and in some cases helps to narrow down the choices..
