Volunteer Engineering Experience Program

Quick note on above: I don't have access to my home computer which has the photos - I will update them when I get the chance (for now enjoy a photo of a polite cat).Description:Our purpose is twofold - facilitate impact in social contexts through public good oriented projects hosted for technically adept students. It begins with a catch 22 scenario of students everywhere while looking for internships. Employers require that students have prior experience so it feels impossible to get a foot in the door. VEEP addresses this gap by hosting and supporting industry level projects to get students the skill and experience they need. Secondly, we empower students to serve their communities with their technical abilities and by extension, learn more about the needs of the communities around them. Our students learn to showcase their experience in nuanced projects where many stakeholders are involved.Our project cycle takes course over a 6-8 month period, beginning in September of the fall semester until April of the Winter semester. Students work in teams of 4-6 with a project manager on a weekly basis on their project. While they communicate with their client, they have the full support of VEEP to complete the project. At the end of the year, students showcase their work at an end-of-year event for clients and students alike.
