Due to the ongoing pandemic, the Complete Engineer® Conference will not be occurring in spring 2021.

Since 2015, The Complete Engineer® Conference has been the premier leadership development conference for collegiate engineering students in Nebraska. Conference attendees are provided hands-on opportunities to develop The Complete Engineer® competencies needed for success as an engineer in the 21st century. 

Here's what past conference attendees said:

98% believe they are a more Complete Engineer® as a result of attending

96% feel more confident in their non-technical abilities

"I have a better understanding of the engineering industry as a whole and am more excited to explore all the possibilities it affords."

"I participated in discussions that not only enlightened me, but made me feel more self-confident in my abilities"

"I believe the presentations challenged me to think about aspects of engineering and social responsibility that I had not previously considered."

The conference provides participants with the opportunity to identify and develop their non-technical skills. Participants will experience:

  • Professional and personal development workshops delivered by industry professionals focused on each of The Complete Engineer® competencies
  • Hands-on activities with each of the competencies through engaging sessions
  • Networking with industry from across engineering disciplines
  • And the opportunity to develop your resume with meaningful experiences from the conference

This conference can help you build a strong foundation of the non-technical skills sought by engineering employers and expected of all engineers, regardless of discipline.
