Students will participate in site visits, networking events, and will finish the program with a group Capstone project. Enterprise Solutions Chairman & CEO James C. Seabury III, P.E., said, “As our work continues to expand and the demand for skilled individuals in construction rises, we knew we could count on Fisk University as a strong, local educational partner with eager students’ interested in learning more about the field.
