Women & Minorities in Engineering Program

WMEP is here to help students to be successful in the College of Engineering.

The WMEP is dedicated to maintaining an inclusive and supportive environment for all of our engineering students. We are building a strong community within the College of Engineering that embraces the creative ideas that minority groups contribute to engineering research and projects. In doing so, we come closer to the goal of finding the best solutions for global challenges.

Services

Tutoring

Small group tutoring services are provided for engineering courses. Other tutoring resources are provided by the College of Engineering in math and engineering at the Engineering Academic Village. Also, the College of Natural Science provides tutors for math, chemistry, and physics at the Science and Mathematics Tutorial Hall.

Advising

Academic guidance, information on career opportunities, and academic resources are provided through one-on-one interaction between WMEP staff and students.

Computer Lab

WMEP computers are available for students to use during normal business hours and evenings upon request. The computer center has seven HP computers linked to the internet and loaded with standard engineering software.

Study Center

A space within the WMEP office is set up for study sessions and student group meetings. The Study Center has reference materials, textbooks, course files with sample exercises and tests, a dry-erase board, and calculators that may be checked out daily.

Scholarship Information

A broad list of potential scholarships available to engineering students is housed in the WMEP office. Many lucrative scholarships exist that are not widely publicized and are available to both undergraduate and graduate students.

K-12 Outreach

Saturday Morning Engineering Club

WMEP’s Saturday Morning Engineering Club, sponsored by the Xcel Energy Foundation, is a hands-on program through which girls in the 4th-6th grades learn about engineering principles and participate in a math enrichment class. The instructors and mentors are all female engineering and science students from Colorado State University. The program lasts for eight Saturdays during a semester.
