14 Program Overview

15 What is the Gordon Program? Selective engineering leadership program focused on leading teams to successfully implement projects Complete as part of a range of MS programs - Chemical Engineering - Civil Engineering - Computer Systems Engineering - Electrical and Computer Engineering - Energy Systems - Engineering Management - Industrial Engineering - Mechanical Engineering - Operations Research - and others! For most programs, participating in GEL does not increase the number of credits required for your degree Graduate School of Engineering

16 Why become a Gordon Fellow? Learn to inspire and influence teams to deliver superior results Expand your understanding of advanced technical concepts Lead an industry-focused Challenge Project based on an organization s strategic needs Advance your career with support from a personalized team of academic and industry mentors Graduate School of Engineering

17 How it Works Master of Science Courses (typically 16 Credits) + Gordon Program Courses (16 Credits) = Master of Science Degree and Graduate Certificate in Engineering Leadership and Gordon Fellow designation Graduate School of Engineering

18 Gordon Program Courses (16 Credits) Engineering Leadership Leadership capabilities Product Development Process Interactive leadership and skills labs Distinguished Speakers Scientific Principles Cross-functional engineering capabilities Challenge Project Real-world project Focus on market value, technical depth, leadership growth Mentor support Graduate School of Engineering

19 Admissions Requirements Strong motivation and potential to develop as an engineering leader Solid record of academic performance Experience in the field of engineering (co-ops and internships will be considered) An industry sponsor to support your Challenge Project (typically a full-time or internship employer) Graduate School of Engineering

21 Graduate Cooperative Education (Co-op) Program Overview Graduate School of Engineering

22 Graduate Co-op Graduate Cooperative Education is a plan of education that combines periods of academic study with a period of employment that is career and academic discipline related. Requires a careful match of employer requirements and availability along with graduate student skills, experiences, and career goals. Graduate School of Engineering

23 Graduate Co-op Graduate Cooperative Education allows students to grow and develop into engaged professionals and can be a significant step toward achieving career goals. Remember that co-op is just one of many opportunities you have available at Northeastern and it is not for everyone.

24 If you are interested in Graduate Co-op: Need to be a full-time graduate student who has completed at least one full semester (2 for some programs) Have successfully completed the ENCP 6000: Career Management for Engineers Course [NOTE: Course has been totally rewritten and changed from past years, still 1 credit, but new this year the course is graded! ECE Students take :EECE 6000] Meet all COE policy standards (GPA, terms completed/remaining, min/max length of co-op, academic approval, etc.) Remember that Co-op for graduate students is a highly competitive program and will not result in all students securing a co-op position. Graduate School of Engineering

25 Co-op and the English Language Development Program We have found communications skills are critical for successfully finding and obtaining a co-op position your academic and technical skills alone are not enough! COE has a two component program to assist students in gaining a robust professional and academic fluency both of which are voluntary this year One is the course ENGR 0600: Preparation for Professional and Academic Engineering Success in the US The other component is Speaking for Clarity, which focuses on being better understood in spoken English. There are other programs available at the university and in Boston and you are encouraged to take advantage of if you feel you could benefit.

52 What is Title IX? Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex or gender in educational programs that are eligible for Title IV funding (e.g. federal financial aid). Sexual assault, sexual misconduct, stalking, domestic/dating violence and other forms of sexual harassment are considered discrimination on the basis of sex or gender and are prohibited by Title IX. The University is obligated to investigate reports of prohibited offenses under Title IX, remedy the effects of such offenses and take steps to prevent their recurrence. The University s obligation to investigate is triggered when it knows or should reasonably know of a report of a prohibited offense.

53 Basic Information & Resources Policy on Rights and Responsibilities under Title IX and Code of Student Conduct Can be found on the University s website Title IX Coordinator in the Office of Institutional Diversity and Inclusion ( OIDI ) Located in 125 Richards Hall Northeastern University Police Department ( NUPD ) Located in Columbus Place or at x2121 University Health and Counseling Services ( UHCS ) Located in the Forsyth Building or at x2772 ViSION (Violence Support, Intervention & Outreach Network) vision@neu.edu

54 Students Rights under Title IX Investigation: NU will investigate allegations of prohibited offenses consistent with a student s request for confidentiality. Interim Remedies Interim Remedies: NU provides many resources to students involved in allegations of sexual assault. Title IX Investigation Reported Offense Disciplinary Action Criminal Process: NU will work with a student seeking to pursue criminal charges for a prohibited offense; this is an external process. Criminal Process Disciplinary Action: NU may take disciplinary action against any student alleged to have committed a prohibited offense.

55 Student Rights: interim remedies Interim Remedies are options offered or steps taken by the University to remedy a claim of a prohibited offense. They include options for: On- and/or off-campus medical, counseling and other related services; Alternate housing arrangements; Altered academic class schedules and/or obligations; Altered student organization schedules and/or obligations; Alternate transportation; Assistance from local law enforcement; A University-issued no-contact order; and Assistance in seeking a judicial no-contact, restraining and/or protective order. Student witnesses, respondents and victims/survivors all have options for interim remedies.

56 Where to report? Students are strongly encouraged to report allegations of prohibited offenses. Students may report allegations of prohibited offenses to NUPD and/or OIDI. Discussions with a counselor at UHCS are privileged and may not be disclosed without the student s consent. Reports to counselors at UHCS may not trigger the University s obligation to investigate a prohibited offense. NUPD OIDI Boston Area Rape Crisis Center Hotline:
