Background

The 2006-2007 academic year will mark the 10th Anniversary of the AT&T Minority Engineering Program at Auburn University.  As a graduate of this program you understand its importance and power to transform lives.

Since the program's inception, minority enrollment in the Samuel Ginn Engineering has increased steadily; so has retention of minority students. One reason for this is that the program addressed the critical performance factors that determine success for minority students - the difficulty adjusting to the culture of the institution; the feeling of being overwhelmed by the complexities and choices of outlining an academic course of study; the lack of experience in time-task management; and need for a social support network.

In support of its mission to recruit and retain minority engineering students, MEP works in partnership with business, industry and engineering professionals to ensure that our students are successful in their undergraduate studies and are effectively prepared to enter graduate school and/or the work force.
