The Center for Inspiring Engineering Excellence plays a vital role in promoting diversity among the Auburn University student body. The goal of the program is to strengthen the recruitment and retention of underrepresented students in the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering. While this program is open to all students, it is designed to encourage and foster support for students from underrepresented populations.

With a wide range of student support, the Center for Inspiring Engineering Excellence supports participants from pre-college through graduation, both in and out of the classroom, by focusing on expanding academic preparation and career readiness. Through academic and professional development workshops, collaborative study groups and one-on-one peer learning, the Center for Inspiring Engineering Excellence is preparing students to confidently take the next steps on their Auburn Engineering career path.
