CEE Professional Development Certificate Program

The CEE Professional Development Certificate Program is intended to develop the professional skills (team building, communications, and leadership) of undergraduate students through selected elective coursework, DeCal courses, seminars and workshops, participation in CEE student groups and competition teams, and industry experience (through externships and internships).
