Professional Development

SiGMA organizes several events that are oriented towards the professional development of graduate students of MAE. Our key events include Sibley Graduate Research Symposium (SGRS) and SiGMA seminar series.

 

SGRS

SGRS is aimed towards providing the opportunity for MAE graduate students to present their research among peers in professional conference format. It promotes academic collaboration among MAE students by introducing students to different exciting research fields of each other.

SiGMA Seminar Series

SiGMA Seminar Series provides a platform to MAE graduate students to practice their research presentations for A/B exam or a conference. The presentation is attended by MAE students and the environment is informal where the speaker receives feedback from the students.
