Engineering Live: Experiential Opportunities

In this broadcast, we'll be talking about all the experiential opportunities available to Purdue Engineering students!
We know that "experiential opportunities" is a bit of a mouthful, but it's the most concise phrase we've been able to come up with to capture all of the ways that our students are able to learn by doing - things like internships, co-ops, study abroad programs, research projects, vertically-integrated projects, community service projects, and more. Now that's a mouthful!
Our student panelists in this broadcast will talk about the what, how, and why of the things they've done and plan to do, and as always we'll be taking your questions throughout! How soon can I get involved in research and internships? Do internships and co-ops pay very much? Where can I go for study abroad? We'll answer those questions and more, so come join us!
