The Center for the Enhancement of Engineering Diversity (CEED) at Virginia Tech is dedicated to enriching the engineering profession through increased diversity. Our programs are targeted to current engineering students at Virginia Tech, prospective students, and the Commonwealth of Virginia's pre-college community.
The objectives and goals of CEED are:
-
to increase the diversity of students who apply to, enroll, and graduate from the College of Engineering;
-
to increase the awareness of engineering and other technical fields as an exciting and rewarding career path to a diverse population;
-
to provide academic, professional and personal support programs;
-
to provide support to student organizations that support our mission, including the National Society of Black Engineers, the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, the Society of Women Engineers, and Council for the Advancement of Minority Engineering Organizations; and
-
to foster collaboration between the Center for the Enhancement of Engineering Diversity, the University, industry, and the local community to support our mission.
