Maximizing Academic and Professional Success

Maximizing Academic & Professional Success


Managing change can be difficult, but as a professional engineer or engineering student, it is unavoidable. Transitioning into UNC Charlotte as a successful engineering student requires adapting to a new environment and developing a more sophisticated long-term approach to learning. 

The MAPS coaching program is a supportive resource to connect college of engineering students to college and campus-wide resources, extra-curricular opportunities, and organizations. Our goal is to develop independent learners and problem solvers.
