Engineering 100
Engineering 100 is an orientation program set up for all incoming freshman to the College of Engineering insructed by current engineering students. During this class you will be given an overview of our College along with strategies and contacts you can use to make sure you are successful.

Engineering Learning Assisstants
As an ELA, you will be responsible for leading a section of Engineering 100, instructing freshman students in your major on topics necessary for success in the College of Engineering as well as at the university.

WIE Scholarship Program
Each year, WIE awards numerous merit and need-based scholarships made possible through generous donations from corporate sponsors and private donors. Students need not apply for these scholarships. Incoming students will be chosen based on their applications and current students will be selected using the information provided through Engineering Career Services' EASE System.

Study Break
The WIE Study Break is an opportunity for students to drop in between classes and labs to spend some time snacking and recharging with other students and supportive COE faculty, staff, and administrators in a low-key, positive environment just before the end-of-year push.
