Expanding Access to Engineering Program

Established in 1973, the Dwight Hutchins Expanding Access to Engineering Program works to increase the number of engineering students from all socio-economic backgrounds who graduate from the college with a BS, MS, or PhD 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.
