Students traditionally underrepresented in STEM fields excel in the K-12 grade engineer education pipeline and succeed in pursuing college degrees and careers in Engineering and Science.​

​

The mission of the Engineer Factory is to increase the number of students from underrepresented populations (girls and students of color) who pursue higher education and careers in Engineering.

​

This will be accomplished through hands-on, project-based learning opportunities; participation in engineering competitions; academic support; technical assistance for educators; exposure and linkages to the engineering industry; mentoring; strategic alliances and partnerships with engineering-related programs and by awarding scholarships to deserving students.
