Restrictions and requirements are set forth which state what must be accomplished for admission into the college. The Center for Minorities in Science and Engineering is located in Room 1134 of the Engineering Classroom Building. This office is dedicated to increasing the enrollment and graduation rates of African American, Hispanic American, and Native American students majoring in engineering. The Center provides a complete package of services designed to assist students from the time they choose engineering as a major until they graduate. Services include academic advising, tutorial services, financial aid, outreach programs, and support of student organizations.
All services are free of charge and can be utilized on a walk-in or appointment basis.
The Program provides a comprehensive set of initiatives designed to encourage and assist women students in becoming successful professional engineers. Services offered include research fellowships, teaching fellowships, mentoring, workshops on classroom climate issues and curriculum transformation, Women Student Advisory Board, speakers, conference funding, collaboration with community colleges, newsletters, and support of women in engineering organizations. Both programs provide students the opportunity to gain professional level experience, integrate theory and practice, confirm career choices, and help finance their education. At the same time employers gain access to an energetic new work force, reduce recruitment costs, train future employees, and increase their presence on campus. Students are eligible to participate in the co-op and summer programs after completing their sophomore engineering requirements.
