Access — Facilitating the dream of becoming an engineer.

Programs to enable the success of all of our students, regardless of ethnic or economic background, are in place – and are working. Over the next decade, we will double the percentage of underrepresented minorities and increase the percentage of women in both our student body and our faculty.

We’re creating and deepening alternate paths for students to complete their studies. Our online Master’s program, for instance, creates a flexible and convenient way for students to advance their academic careers.
