Company Partners

Companies serve as EOE strategic partners to increase student diversity in the Cockrell School of Engineering.

 The EOE Program invites students to become part of an exciting community that focuses on academic success and personal growth.  EOE initiatives such as Fall Kick-Off, First Year Interest Groups, and Engineering Peer Leaders help students establish a strong academic foundation and promote the formation of a peer support network. In addition, EOE provides students with access to tutoring, undergraduate research opportunities, and professional development workshops.  In partnership with Pi Sigma Pi Minority Academic Engineering Society, the National Society of Black Engineers, and the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, the EOE Program builds a network that makes it easy to meet other engineering students and form study groups.

EOE promotes excellence in the areas of academics, leadership, professionalism, and community support.  In addition, EOE builds a support network for advancement through opportunities that encourage engineering students to interact with their peers, faculty, alumni, and corporate representatives.

By supporting EOE initiatives, company partners assist the Cockrell School with the development of more than 1,000 pre-college and college students on the academic journey to pursue careers in engineering.  In addition, these initiatives provide companies an excellent opportunity to gain visibility with diverse student, as well as help identify potential candidates for employment.  The following information provides a high level summary about all of EOE’s initiatives.
