Academia-Practice Partnerships

The APP Committee seeks to supplement the current educational curriculum offered by accredited institutions to structural engineering students by engaging with educational professionals and NCSEA Committees to assist in activities which promote the knowledge and skills the engineering community views as necessary when entering the profession.

The APP Committee will:

Engage the NCSEA community to facilitate the transition between education and professional practice and create opportunities for further education.
Share the recommended curriculum and the knowledge and skills identified as necessary by the engineering community.
Understand the latest trends and concerns in our industry and advocate awareness of and engagement with educators and students regarding these concerns.
Engage NCSEA’s Continuing Education, Publications, and YMG Support Committees to identify and develop content, and to determine how best to share it with students, institutions, and new graduates entering the profession.
Assisting MOs in engaging with their local educational institutions.
Engage with other organizations to identify where efforts can be aligned to provide extra-curricular activities and professional development programs that promote knowledge, skills, and industry trends.
