About EOE

The Cockrell School of Engineering established the Equal Opportunity in Engineering (EOE) Program in 1970 to promote the recruitment, retention and academic development of Hispanic, African American, and Native American students interested in pursuing careers in engineering. Since that time, EOE has expanded its goals and now seeks to increase the diversity of its student body by supporting students who come from historically underrepresented population groups in Texas or students who have backgrounds or experiences that will contribute to the overall diversity of the Cockrell School of Engineering. EOE is supported by the Cockrell School of Engineering, corporate partners, and grants from the federal and state governments.
