Diversity and Inclusion

At UCLA, inclusive excellence is an indispensable element of academic success. We offer the following programs and resources designed to foster an inclusive learning environment that complements a rigorous engineering education for anyone with the talent and the desire to succeed.

CEED

CEED

The Center for Excellence in Engineering and Diversity at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering, known as CEED, works with a community of partners to support the K-20 pathways that lead to engineering and computer science degrees.

CEED offers many programs designed to create a community of collaborative and sustainable partnerships that offer academic and professional-development support for engineering and computer science undergraduate students who are first in their families to attend college or who have experienced socioeconomic or educational disadvantages.

On the pre-college level, the program partners with middle and high schools in the greater Los Angeles area to offer academic support, exposure to the engineering and computer science role models and opportunities to learn more about engineering and computer science through hands-on projects, workshops and classes.

WE@UCLA

WE@UCLA

The UCLA Women in Engineering program, known as WE@UCLA, is an institutionalized student support program run by a full-time professional staff within the Dean’s office at UCLA Samueli. The mission is to enable the full participation, success and advancement of women in engineering and computer science. WE@UCLA does not require membership and is open to all UCLA Samueli students.

UCLA Engineering Transfer Center

Engineering Transfer Center

The Engineering Transfer Center is part of the new Engineering Resource Center. The mission at the Engineering Transfer Center is to provide resources and support to current Samueli Engineering transfer students, increase visibility and advocacy for the transfer community in the school, and build partnerships with local community colleges to support the engineering pipeline.
