ENpower Bridge Program
Fall 2025
ENpower is a residential program that gives incoming students an opportunity to get to know campus prior to the start of the academic year, while meeting faculty, staff, and other engineering students.
Transition to College Life with a Summer Bridge Program
ENpower offers students the tools and campus resources needed as they transition from high school to college. The program provides students the opportunity to gain skills that support good study habits needed in a challenging discipline like engineering.
Sessions will be held on:
- career planning
- time management
- study skills
- stress management
Current students will talk about life as an engineering student on the CSU campus, and can answer your questions about faculty or undergraduate research. Read a CSU Source article about the program here.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is ENpower Bridge?
The program begins each year the Sunday prior to Ram Welcome for incoming students. Participants should plan to arrive on August 11th, 2024 to move into their residence halls. In the afternoon (exact schedule will be shared at a later time), participants and their caretakers will attend our ENpower welcome and begin the program.
Why attend ENpower?
ENpower Bridge is an investment in a student’s future, and helps students succeed in the classroom during their first-year year. Participants will meet and make connections with other students interested in engineering. Experience shows that support groups offer an important advantage in successfully obtaining a university degree.
Is there any cost to attend?
There is no fee to participate in the program, thanks to contributions from our industry sponsors Halliburton, Xcel Energy, and Terracon. All materials for the program are included. Participants will need to provide their own transportation to the CSU campus.
What is expected of students in the program?
Students are expected to fully participate in ENpower programming, and continue in the mentoring program during their first year. Space is limited and will be given to students willing to commit to the program.
