We ask a lot of our summer interns.
This summer, they spent their break doing the behind-the-scenes, high-impact work of curriculum development. They reworked procedure steps, redesigned slide decks, produced intro videos from scratch, and added real-world applications so students can connect what they build in class to what engineers actually do.
The labs that Cavan, Jisun, Millie, and Sophia enhanced are rolling out to classrooms now. Thousands of students will move through them without knowing a sophomore from Notre Dame or a junior from Northwestern shaped what they experience.
That's the thing about curriculum work: the impact is too often invisible but we're shining the spotlight on this critical work. How the labs are developed is essential to our mission and impact.
Thank you Sophia, Millie, Jisun, and Cavan. We see you and your work. Have a great year, and we hope to see you again next summer!
