Engaging industry professionals as guest speakers, mentors, and advisory board members provides insights, guidance, and real-world perspectives, encouraging entrepreneurial thinking and innovation. Offering industry-sponsored projects, internships, and co-op programs allows students to gain hands-on experience, build professional networks, and explore entrepreneurial opportunities.
