Student-centered Professional Practice Council (SPPC)

Student-centered Professional Practice Council (SPPC), established during the start-p phase of this project, in collaboration with the founding SCPs, the SPPC would establish and engage student teams and work groups in co-curricular student-managed personal and professional development activities and events. The SPPC would typically establish Special Interest Groups (SIGs) for issues lasting more than one academic term. These projects, activities and events would be undertaken in collaboration with SCP practicing professionals/alums and recent retirees. along with members of local professional chapters of ACM, ASME, BMES and IEEE that complement the academic professional practice projects and programs. Initial SPPC membership, established during the start-up phase, would include one lead student nominated by each major student chapter of ACM, ASME, BMES and IEEE, as well as one third-year and one second-year student selected by each lead student. SPPC would have a lead point of contact for communication to and from the PPEC, SDSC, FPPC, each SCP and each national professional society.
