Community Engagement

At any time, the W Booth School is engaged in dozens of projects that focus on helping organizations - private, public and not for profit - address their engineering-related innovation challenges. Projects capitalize on our school's strengths in engineering design, policy, manufacturing and entrepreneurship, and routinely involve interdisciplinary student teams working under the supervision of faculty and staff. Solutions are tailored to an organization's unique needs and range from prototypes and products to drawings, studies and reports. Most projects are delivered free of change as part of our school's educational mandate.

The W Booth School places a high value on providing mentorship experiences that support student learning, professional development and the transition to work. Volunteer mentors share specialized expertise and acquired wisdom in numerous areas, including technology, business, career planning and networking. And they provide encouragement and advice during an important chapter in our students' lives. Mentors are particularly helpful in assisting students with real world projects required for graduation. 

Mentorship commitments range from short, episodic engagements to more formalized longer term arrangements - we work to accommodate your schedule.

We welcome people from the wider community to speak with our students on topics specifically related to engineering practice and technology as well as more general themes such as job readiness, networking and career planning.
