Welcome to the fall semester! Are you looking for a class with meaningful work experience? Sign up for ENG315 Section:CMS.
In this class you will get to work as a member of a “consulting” team for Campus for Middle School Girls to develop and implement an online math curriculum. CMS is an independent not for profit school on the UIUC campus that offers rigorous courses for middle school girls with a special emphasis on promoting girls’ interest in STEM fields. For more information visit http://linc.illinois.edu/campus-middle-school-girls or email Jessie at bock6@illinois.edu.
There are no prerequisites, you earn 3 credit hours, there are no exams, and you learn real-world project and teamwork skills. ENG315 is open to all students, any major (NOT just engineers), and any level (first year through grad student). If you have friends who might be interested, encourage them to enroll. ENG315 also counts as an elective for the Leadership Studies Minor.
