The General Engineering department's key annual event is Major Discovery Night, a major exploration event hosted along with the Engineering Honor Society, Tau Beta Pi.. During this time, students have the opportunity to meet and network with Clemson University engineering alumni and industry professionals in a variety of roles to ask questions and guide them in selecting their engineering major. All of the undergraduate departments in the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences are represented, with faculty, staff and upper-class students of these departments also in attendance.
In addition to speaking with first year engineering students, returning alumni can meet upperclassmen in Tau Beta Pi over hors d'oeuvres. All attendees hear a welcome from the Dean at the beginning of the networking portion of the event. The event is held on the second floor of the Hendrix Student Center allowing space for the students and alumni to have meaningful conversations. Refreshments will also be served.
Typically hosted in the springtime as engineering students prepare to choose their field, this event gives the General Engineering cohort a unique opportunity to acquire insight into numerous career fields and help them make a more definitive choice about their future.
