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
