The College has built a strong reputation in the United States and abroad, and graduates leave with skills, knowledge, and global savvy for a world increasingly dependent on engineering.
The Center for Engineering Education and Diversity (CEED) is housed in the College of Engineering and is responsible for the oversight of 9 programs, three of which are institutional, serving over 3,000 students per year. CEED programs are focused on the recruitment and retention of students who are traditionally underrepresented in STEM fields including: African American, Hispanic/Latino, Native American, multiracial, transfer students, first generation college students and women students.
