Future Students
Future Students
We are developing the engineering workforce of the future. We are committed to exposing all K-12 students, including students from populations that are traditionally underrepresented in engineering, to the diverse field of engineering through hands-on and interactive engineering programs while empowering and encouraging all students to develop the necessary skills and confidence to pursue a career in engineering.
Program Initiatives for K-12 Future Engineers
- Future Engineering Mailing List | By enrolling in the Future Engineering Club, students will receive targeted emails and mailings to increase exposure to the field of engineering.
- K-12 Programs | Whether you are in kindergarten or a senior in high school, there is a program for you. We have different age ranges where we introduce the field of engineering in multiple ways. Join us for one of our programs where we expose you to endless possibilities in the field of engineering.
- Summer Camps | By enrolling in a College of Engineering summer camp, we hope to expose middle or high school students to the world of engineering. Camps will be conducted by different College of Engineering faculty, staff and students, so campers can see the field of engineering at a deeper level.
Program Initiatives for Transfer Students and Dual Degree Programs
- Dual Degree Engineering Program | Auburn Engineering participates in programs with Atlanta University Center Consortium (Clark Atlanta University, Spelman College and Morehouse College). Students begin their studies at one of these partner institutions and complete their studies at Auburn. After graduation, students earn two degrees — an engineering degree from Auburn, and a second degree from the partner institution.
- Path to the Plains (P2P) | A concurrent enrollment program offered by Auburn University and partner community college institutions designed for students who want to transfer to Auburn to finish their bachelor's degrees upon completion of an associate's degree.
Program Initiatives for Future Auburn Engineering Undergraduates
To support the unique needs of students within the College of Engineering, students have the opportunity to join student-led organizations with a diversity focus. These organizations are open to any student, and each encourages professional development and community building for underrepresented groups in engineering. An undergraduate representative from each of these organizations sits on the Engineering Inclusion and Diversity Committee.
College of Engineering Programs
The Samuel Ginn College of Engineering provides programs through its administrative offices to bolster the recruitment and success of underrepresented students. From pre-college through graduation, these programs provide students with the support they need to become leaders in engineering.
Center for Engineering Inclusive Excellence strengthens the recruitment and retention of underrepresented students in the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering. Celebrating over 25 years, this program supports participants from pre-college through graduation, both in and out of the classroom, by focusing on expanding academic preparation and career readiness.
100+ Women Strong, housed under the Office of Advancement, is made up of alumni and friends of the college who embrace our vision to provide resources and programming that will enable us to attract, support and retain female students in Auburn Engineering. Though not a student organization, 100+ Women Strong provides mentoring, scholarships, and professional development events to help recruit, retain, and reward female students in the College of Engineering. 100+ Women Strong also recognizes outstanding leadership in the College of Engineering by sponsoring the 100+ Women Strong Leadership Award
Scholarships
The Samuel Ginn College of Engineering is committed to supporting all students through their scholastic program. For the 2021-2022 academic year, over $4.7 million was awarded by the college to engineering students.
