Diversity in Engineering Education
The pursuit of new scientific and engineering knowledge, practical applications, and service to society requires vast talent, thoughtful insight, and numerous perspectives, which is supported by increasing diversity in science- engineering- and technology-related education, research, and industry. The Henry Samueli School of Engineering is committed to excellence, and the promotion of diversity through enhancing awareness, collaboration, recruitment, and the encouragement of participation and involvement.

Get Involved!
Engineering students may join any number of student organizations – most are professionally oriented, and in many instances, are local chapters of national engineering societies. A primary function of these groups is to provide consistent technical and social meetings for students with common interests. Most of the groups also participate in the annual National Engineers Week activities and in other Samueli School functions.
