Help shape the future of Systems Design Engineering!

All alumni of the Systems Design Engineering program (SYDE) are invited to join a virtual roundtable discussion on Wednesday July 19 or Thursday July 27 with the chair of the Department of Systems Design Engineering Dr. Lisa Aultman-Hall and select professors.

To meet the evolving needs of our society and profession, the department has embarked on a renewal of our undergraduate program curriculum. The faculty are excited to share a progress update and hear your response to the guiding principles that have informed this work. We invite you to be part of the conversation to help shape our world-leading program for problem-solving engineers.

In addition to meeting four of our brand-new faculty members, you will have an opportunity to share your thoughts, feedback, and ideas with Lisa, as well as ask questions. Register for one of the two date and time options – we hope you can join us!
