MISSIONThe mission of DAPCEP is to increase the number of historically underrepresented students who are motivated and prepared academically to pursue degrees leading to careers in Science,

Technology,Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) related fields through K-12 supplemental educational programming.

ADMISSIONS POLICY The DAPCEP admission is designed to maximize fairness and consideration of all eligible

applicants. Each Program Director or selection committee seeks to have a qualified, balanced, broad base of students, each of whom must meet the eligibility requirements for the desired

program. Typically, each program has more applicants than it has allotted spaces. While every consideration is given to maximize total enrollment with as many students as possible receiving

their first selection, the numerical realities of the program and its funding will result in some students not getting their desired program or not even admitted to DAPCEP at all.

We encourage all students who are not admitted to reapply during the next enrollment period.

Committee. The purpose of this group has been and continues to be to support the programs and activities of DAPCEP and its students.

PAC has several subcommittees as well as an active teen component to their organization. The teens in grades 8th through 12th meet the same time as the parents. Their calendar of events is diverse and well received by the students and parents alike. The Teen Coordinators are working professionals from major industries throughout metropolitan Detroit. They are highly motivated

and keep the teens enthusiastically involved in activities throughout the PAC year.

The current membership fee is $10 per year per member. Teen membership is included with the parent membership. The Parent Advisory Committee of DAPCEP is a registered 501c3

DAPCEP had a big impact on me because I got to go to MTU and get a college ex-perience. I even got my own planner to write down classes and keep track of my as-signments and studies; I’d never had that experience before and it’s helped me. I met my best friends in the program and we’re still close. I opened up more because I just used to be so, so, so to myself! I’m going to South Carolina State University to study fashion design. When I was in the engineering program, I learned how to put togeth-er different things; in fashion there are a lot of engineering concepts. DAPCEP made me really pay attention to how engineering is an aspect in a lot of fields. To students: get in the program because it will change your life. I’m so glad I got a chance to ex-perience DAPCEP. - DAPCEP got me out of my comfort zone and showed me how to conduct myself in business situations. I made a lot of good friends, friends I know I’ll have for a long time. I’m a Gates Millennium Scholar. Last summer, we went up to U of M for a week and a half and they showed me that I could go there. READY brought to my attention that there are so many types of engineering and that I can combine math and science. I would say to others: don’t be shy, meet people because you’ll get everything out of DAPCEP. - When I was younger, I had a speech impediment that put me behind in reading, math, and science. Through the presentation aspect of the program, DAPCEP released my anxiety of talking in front of people. I joined DAPCEP and ever since then I’ve been at thetop of my class. It’s given me the opportunity to explore my curiosity, and it also opened me to a bunch of opportunities - I toured several universities throughout Michigan. I’m going to study mechanical engineering because I got to play with machinery in DAPCEP and it was really fun. - I wanted to become a pediatrician, but being exposed to engineering at MTU, I decided I wanted to be biomedical engineer. I worked making a prosthetic knee and I really enjoyed it and saw I could help people. I love the medical field, but discovering engineering and now being able to put them together in biomedical engineering is awesome. Before I was kind of shy and being part of the program, I met my best friends and we keep in touch. It helped my confidence, too, and I also learned how to network. I would say to other students, join the program! If you’re not interested in science and math, DAP-CEP will get you really interested and you’ll also meet people who will help you in the long run. - Because of DAPCEP I got to look into careers I may not have been exposed to. READY has been a big impact on me, we have a brotherhood and the program teaches you how to give back to the community. I was on MSU’s campus and that gave me the exposure to the campus I would never have gotten, especially because I got to live there for two weeks. I’m going to major in telecommunications because I always had the dream to host a TV or radio show, and there’s engineering behind broadcasting and DAPCEP helped show me that. . . . I would say to students that DAPCEP is definitely worth giving up a Saturday because you get to meet people who share the same views and also different views who can enlighten you to new ideas. If you’re in it the program, stick with it. - The biggest thing to me was the brotherhood over the four years we got to know each other in READY. Mr. Murphy pushed us and said, this is the home stretch and we need to push forward and get into college. The program was geared toward engineering, but the leadership aspect and the presen-tation preparation made me realize that I’m a good manager and I can lead by ex-ample. I would say to current students: don’t slack off any year, because every single year in high school is a stepping stone. You need to buckle down because college is a whole other level. The experience DAPCEP provides - going to different colleges and doing hands-on activities - allows you to learn in different ways than just in school. - DAPCEP set a career path for me. All my courses were in science and now I want to go into the medical field because that’s all science and math, so DAPCEP really guid-ed me and helped me figure out what I want to do in life. With DAPCEP, we started topics early; I’d go to school and I would already be familiar with the topics we were learning. I went to a couple programs at MSU and that’s what influenced me to go there because I met the professors and new people and felt really comfortable on campus. I’m going to MSU to go into pre-med to become a pathologist. My advice is:

Thank Youto all of our Partners!
