Signature Events
EMBARK
EMBARK gives incoming engineering freshman a chance come to campus a few days earlier than the University's traditional move-in date. During EMBARK, students have the opportunity to meet other incoming engineering students, make connections with advisors and departmental contacts, and participate in social events.
System of Success (SOS) Retreat
SOS is an overnight stay for the aspiring engineer featuring workshops given by corporate friends and alumni of MEP. This is a chance for students and alumni to network, share stories, and create mentoring-type relationships.
Mentoring Classes
Mentoring classes give students opportunities to build community, receive guidance, and have access to resources. These classes are geared towards professional preparation, professional interests, and academic adjustment.
Study Abroad Program
MEP collaborates with the International Programs in Engineering (IPENG) office to offer a short-term, faculty-led program for first-year students. This program is a fantastic opportunity to learn leadership strategies and participate in community service. In previous years, MEP staff and students have visited Jamaica and Guatemala.
