Help MIT Sophomores Appreciate the
Real World of Professional Practice

Practice Opportunities Program (UPOP) provides engineering sophomores opportunities
to practice and/or appreciate
engineering outside the academic context
and prepares them to hit the ground running in the workplace.
The program is currently seeking alumni and
employers to serve as facilitators in the 2007 Introduction to Engineering
Practice Workshop.
Facilitators are responsible for helping
the Sloan and Engineering School Faculty execute the team-based modules
and role plays, delivering feedback to students in small groups, and serving
as ambassadors for their respective professions and/or companies to students.
Typically, facilitators have between 5 and 40 years professional experience
and come from a wide range of industries including aero/space, finance,
strategy consulting, software, automotive and life sciences. Past facilitators
have included an astronaut, a retired CEO of a medium sized robotics company,
newly promoted software development manager, HR director, president of
a leadership training company, vice president of engineering for a small
start-up and an MBA student.
The Workshop will be offered twice in January
2007. The program is seeking
facilitators for both sessions.
Session 1:
Monday, January 22 -- Friday, January 26

A mandatory facilitator training and orientation
