Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program (UPOP) Workshop
Professor D. K.P. Yue
Mon Jan 28 thru Fri Feb 1, 10am-05:00pm, TBD
Enrollment limited: advance sign up required (see contact below)
Limited to 100 participants.
Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)
This intensive, week-long workshop, designed for engineering sophomores, will give attendees an appreciation for the skills they will need to transition into and succeed in the world outside the halls of academia. The backbone of the new School of Engineering Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program (UPOP), this workshop will be led by MIT faculty from the Sloan School of Management and the School of Engineering. Students will participate in highly interactive case studies, simulations, and role plays in order to guide them and their teams through the process of solving a complex engineering problem. The case studies will illuminate and demonstrate the major workshop topics, which include Engineering in Practice (product development and commercialization), organizational dynamics, leadership and teamwork, character and ethics, and effective communication. In subsequent segments, UPOP will give undergraduate sophomores the opportunity to apply and reflect on their knowledge in a real-world setting.
