Minority Engineering Advancement Program (MEAP)
The Minority Engineering Advancement Program (MEAP) was established in 1974 to encourage minority students to pursue studies in engineering and engineering technology. Through the annual MEAP summer workshops, the school identifies and recruits talented secondary school students and provides them with information about engineering careers and college requirements. Since 1976, more than 100 students have participated each summer in the program.
MEAP also provides counseling and tutor referral service to minority undergraduates enrolled in the School of Engineering and Technology. In addition, scholarships and grants are available to American Indian, African American, and Hispanic students, people from groups that have been historically underrepresented in engineering.
