CEE Alumni

CEE depends on our alumni. That means you.

The education we give students in our classrooms, research labs, and co-ops is important, but it's not everything. In their diversity and their success, CEE alumni inspire current and future students to work harder, smarter, and more successfully.

You can help us keep that tradition going.

CEE alumni are industry experts, leaders, and game-changers. We often call upon our alumni to visit campus as guest lecturers in classrooms and special events. CEE alumni also serve as mentors for our students and give valuable direction to the School through the External Advisory Board.
