Program Overview: Mission

The Multicultural Engineering Program (MEP) is an academic support program designed to recruit, retain and graduate a diverse population of students, especially groups which continue to remain the most underrepresented in engineering. This includes but is not limited to aspiring College of Engineering students who are first in their family to earn a baccalaureate degree, or from family backgrounds of limited financial resources and less educational opportunities. MEP leverages a strong support network to build an academic community and provide the necessary bridges for students’ academic and professional success.

• Perform as a high caliber engineering student and professional.

• Lead within Cal Poly and the workforce.• Create positive change.• Exemplify confidence through self-advocacy and consistent

personal growth.• Value collaboration and diversity in teams.• Are socially responsible and global citizens.

International Exchange Program:

Sending MEP Students Abroad

5/2/2016 30

In one quarter in Sweden, I got to complete 3 projects with engineering classmates from Asia, Africa, and Australia while receiving credit for 20 Cal Poly units.

KTH Royal Institute of Technology

My experiences abroad inspired me to apply for the U.S. government’s flagship exchange program, the Fulbright, for which I became a Semi-Finalist and am now an Alternate Candidate for graduate study.

Studying engineering in a multicultural setting has led me to select a M.S. in Human Factors/Ergonomics, with goals to conduct ethnographic research in human-computer interaction for high-tech firms.
