PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

There are numerous ways that companies and alumni can contribute to the ongoing professional development of our undergraduate and graduate students.

CAREER COMPASS

Career Compass is a professional development program that will stimulate and develop students’ broad-based, innovative leadership and management skills. Beginning sophomore year and continuing through graduation, students will be professionally linked to Villanova Engineering alumni and corporate partners for mentoring.

INDUSTRY SPEAKERS

The College hosts dozens of alumni, parents and friends each year who share their professional expertise with our students, either by speaking to a class or engineering organization, or by serving as a keynote speaker or panelist for a forum or symposium.

ENGINEERING ENTREPRENEURSHIP

The College’s most popular minor, the Engineering Entrepreneurship program invites entrepreneurs to speak to classes about their experiences. Alumni and friends are also needed as judges for regular entrepreneurial challenges and competitions and to mentor project teams as they develop prototypes and business models of their ideas.
