During 2000-2001, over 60 Freshman Seminars will be offered. Enrollment in the seminars is by application. Freshman Seminars are regular University classes and count as one of the 36 required for the B.S.E. degree. Most fulfill University distribution requirements, while some fulfill the University writing requirement. A number of engineering students take Freshman Seminars each year, and we encourage their participation in the program.
Most engineering students participate in extracurricular activities to a significant degree.
They can be found on the rosters of Princeton's intercollegiate and intramural teams, playing in the University orchestra, on the mastheads of campus publications, and taking part in community service activities. There is no single career path for a Princeton B.S.E. graduate. Many go to work in business or industry upon graduation, some intending to return to graduate study eventually. Others go directly on to graduate study with the goal of pursuing careers in research or education. Some become teachers, doctors, lawyers, or astronauts.
