Considering Graduate School: An EOE Workshop Mini Series

EOE created these workshops to expose undergraduate engineering students to new opportunities by obtaining a graduate degree. The workshops evolved from small seminars created for EOE Texas Research Experience (TREX) participants to workshops open to all engineering students.

The one hour workshops vary in topic to appeal to students who are considering graduate school to complement their career aspirations and to those in the process of applying to graduate school.
