Global Engineers

In an increasingly connected world, it is vital to engage with all people with respect, appreciation and curiosity so that we can concisely interpret and solve the problems of our global communities.

The Global Engineers program provides a wide range of extracurricular and curricular support designed to simultaneously serve underrepresented students while providing educational opportunities and fostering space for allyship development for all students and faculty.
