CORPORATE PARTNERS LAUNCH
The launch of our new Corporate Partners Program by the College of Engineering and Computing is generating excitement. Companies joining at the Innovator or Visionary Level will gain exclusive opportunities to engage with the college's faculty and students. Corporate Partners will receive priority access to sign up for the DEI Employer Showcase, Evening with Industry, and other prestigious events hosted by the college.
For additional details, please visit our website or reach out to Colleen Bush at bushc4@miamioh.edu for any inquiries. We eagerly anticipate strengthening existing corporate relationships and fostering new connections.
ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Finals Week Study Break 
The Fall Semester Finals Week Study Break for all CEC students will be held on Monday, December 11. 
The event is an opportunity for the students to take a break from their intense finals' preparations, gather with CEC friends, and spend a little time thinking about something other than classes.
Snacks and comfort food will be provided as well as activities to help the students "destress". 
We are currently seeking opportunities to partner with companies to sponsor the event.  Sponsors will have their company name and logo prominently displayed before, during, and after the event, and will significantly build their brand with CEC students.
You can find more information and can register on the CEC Finals Week Study Break Registration form here.

2024 Engineers Week
Engineers Week celebrates all engineers and computer scientists and will be held the week of February 18-24.  CEC will be hosting the DEI Employer Showcase and the Spring Career and Internship Fair will be held at Millett Hall that week. We are hoping to have companies on campus to table, visit classes, and connect with student organizations. 

Please contact Colleen Bush at bushc4@miamioh.edu if you are interested in more information on these events.
CAREER EXPLORATION PANEL
THANK YOU to the nearly 50 professionals who generously shared their time and invaluable career insights during the Career Exploration Panels and to the Career Center staff for hositng a resume workshop for the first-year College of Engineering and Computing students.
Our students found immense value in exploring the diverse array of career paths, which promises to significantly influence their future career choices. The impactful advice imparted by the professionals will undoubtedly shape their college journey and beyond.
FTC COMPETITION
Miami University College of Engineering and Computing will host a FIRST Tech Challenge qualifying tournament in Millet Hall on Saturday, February 3, 2024. During the event, teams made up of students in grades 7-12, are challenged to design, build, program, and operate robots to compete in a head-to-head challenge. The teams are guided by adult coaches and mentors to help develop STEM skills and learn engineering principles. As part of the program, teams also raise funds, market their teams, and do community outreach to earn specific awards.
We are looking for volunteers to ensure that the competition is an incredible experience for the teams.  If you are able to be a referee, field resetter, judge, pit runner, field manager, or help in any way, please sign up at this link.  
Companies are also encouraged to sponsor the event.  If you have any questions about the FTC tournament or sponsorship opportunities, please email Joanna Hohn at hohnj@miamioh.edu
UPSKILLING







Are you looking for courses and workshops to educate your employees in exactly what you need them to know?

Do you want to add new courses to your current upskill course lineup?


The State of Ohio offers an easy and economical way to upskill your workforce.  Companies can apply for Ohio TechCred for their incumbent and new employees and Ohio will pay for the cost of the courses.  TechCred funding is open and can be used to fund courses starting as soon as January.
Ohio recently announced that all Ohioans are eligible for IMAP - Individual Microcredential Assistance Program. We antipate that the Miami courses will be added to the IMAP credential list.
CEC currently offers advanced manufacturing, materials evaluation, regulatory affairs, and data science courses and workshops that pair with Ohio TechCred and in the future, IMAP.  We are always looking for ways to share the faculty expertise with the community.  Customizing courses for your employees is a great way to quickly educate them on the topics that are relevant to their work and perfect for Ohio TechCred funding.
CEC can help and work with you to develop courses customized to your needs and Ohio TechCred can pay for those courses.
With CEC and Ohio TechCred, you can receive custom education at no charge.
Please contact Colleen Bush at bushc4@miamioh.edu if you would like to learn more and talk about potential education collaborations.
