Intellectual Engagement
Honors students will develop a plan of study through their primary academic adviser in the College of Engineering, as well as through the University Honors program. Special consideration is given to Honors students when applying for the INNOVATE: The L3Harris Summer Program. Additional opportunities exist for presenting work completed as part of the Honors program.
鈥淎s an Honors student, you will have a much smaller interdisciplinary engineering course your first semester, and you鈥檒l learn your fellow students鈥� strengths and weaknesses, which will help improve everything you work on. The Honors Program will help you go further than you thought you could, with a constant support system in place and new friends along the way. And it鈥檚 also given me the opportunity to study abroad this summer in Dublin!鈥�
