About EOE

The Cockrell School of Engineering established the Equal Opportunity in Engineering (EOE) Program at UT Austin in 1970 to promote the recruitment and academic development of African American, Hispanic, 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 invites students to become part of an exciting community that focuses on academic success, professional development, and personal growth.  In partnership with Pi Sigma Pi Minority Academic Engineering Society, the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), and the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), EOE builds a network that makes it easy for engineering students to connect, form study groups, and most importantly, develop friendships that last well after graduation.

EOE is supported by the Cockrell School of Engineering, corporate partners, and grants from the federal and state governments.  More information about EOE is available at - http://www.engr.utexas.edu/eoe/about
