Conceptual Engineering Milestones (CEM) was designed by professionals with over 50 years of combined experience to open the minds of STEM students. Students explore a wide variety of career opportunities available in engineering, the steps to pursue these potential career choices, and an overview of the day-to-day life of an engineer across industry.
CEM engages students in conceptual and hands-on small-team projects, building skills and confidence, culminating in real-world simulated disaster recovery group projects. Students will broaden their STEM experience in this project-based laboratory by practicing key 21st-century skills, including critical thinking, problem-solving, public speaking, task management, teamwork, and effective communication.
