Office of Engineering Diversity Programs

The Office of Engineering Diversity Programs (EDP) works to increase the number of ethnically underrepresented engineering students who graduate from the college with a B.S., M.S. or Ph.D. in engineering by:

• Providing academic preparation and exposure to career possibilities in the area of engineering to pre-college students, thereby increasing the pool of qualified students who enter the college.
• Recruiting students and providing services and resources to ensure their success.
• Working with faculty, staff and students to create an invigorating and supportive environment.
• Assisting in the preparation of students for graduate studies and engineering careers.

Minority Engineering Organization Affiliation

EDP is affiliated with the National Consortium for Graduate Degrees for Minorities in Engineering and Science, Inc. and two pre-college programs, the Southeastern Consortium for Minorities in Engineering (SECME) and the National Association of Precollege Directors.

EDP is also a member of the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering (NACME), the National Association of Multicultural Engineering Program Advocates (NAMEPA), the National Society of Black Engineers and the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers.
