Changes

'''From University Innovation'''

While there have been some courses offered at Kettering University traditionally in order to engage students with I&E, there are many new ones as Kettering gears up to overhaul its I&E program. The University has recently introduced a Multidisciplinary I&E minor/concentration that has grabbed student attention. The students will be working with Kettering Entrepreneurship Society as a part of the program. Below is a list of these new courses:

Kettering University strives to engage its students with I&E both in and outside the classroom. It currently hosts two campus events that make students delve into I&E.

 

The three pillars of Kettering Entrepreneurship Society (KES) are Mentoring, Networking and Funding. Students often have great ideas but lack the means. KES seeks to fill in the gap by providing valuable feedback, essential start-up funding, an interactive network and most important of all, the motivation. KES holds weekly meetings open to the entire student body and the faculty. Once a student receives a grant, he/she periodically updates the society on the progress of their projects. Students that are not physically present can also attend meetings virtually using WebEx.

Arguably, the most attractive aspect of studying at Kettering University is the co-op program. Each term at Kettering University is 11 weeks long and there are four terms or quarters per year. Students alternate between co-op (usually at a company) and school every term. Essentially, every student works for six months in the year and studies for the other six. Most students graduate with two years of valuable industrial work experience and have a better understanding of the work place. Most students even complete a six month long mandatory Undergraduate Thesis project.
