5.2. Indianapolis

There are many activities you should be doing for your own professional development as an engineering student beyond our traditional courses. In ENGR 13300, we are including three types of experiences in the course assignments. The three types of experiences are mentioned in Table 5.13

Table 5.13 Professional Preparation Experiences

Experiences	Description	Activities
Academic Success	Prepare a schedule. Successful students often have an intentional schedule where they have decided when they will study, have fun, exercise, eat, sleep and other categories of activities.	\(1\)
Professional Preparation	Prepare a resume	\(1\)
	Personal Activity: Participate in two activities that include attending a callout, going to job fairs or career presentations and going to hear speakers on campus. These can help you decide on a future career as well as helping you learn about opportunities for your future.	\(2\)
Cultural Experience	The Purdue community is very diverse. Experiencing that diversity will help you to grow as people and prepare yourselves to be leaders in our global economy and community.	\(1\)

The due dates for these assignments can be found in the Course Schedule.

Points Distribution

Each activity is worth \(20\) points for a total of \(100\) points. See Table 5.14 for the individual breakdown. For the Personal Activities and Cultural Experience, you will submit a reflection that is graded with the rubric(see Reflection Rubrics).
