PCI
Pre-College Initiative (PCI) is co-sponsored by Virginia Tech's National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) and the Center for the Enhancement of Engineering Diversity (CEED), with the goal of increasing the number of African American students who are prepared to enter college, ideally majoring in engineering, math, science, and other technical disciplines. Initially, the program begins with a weekend event, allowing students to stay overnight on Virginia Tech's campus. Subsequently, the students will be invited to return to participate in activities throughout the academic year.
C-Tech²
Computers and Technology at Virginia Tech (C-Tech²) is a two-week summer camp, targeting high school girls. The purpose of the program is to introduce participants to engineering and related technologies through various hands-on activities, laboratories, and presentations. C-Tech² also provides participants with the opportunity to learn about college life - from residence halls to classrooms and everything in-between. Check out the web page for more information on C-Tech²
Imagination
Imagination, a one-week science and math camp for rising seventh and eighth graders in the New River Valley and Roanoke area, introduces participants to the exciting and fun world of technology, engineering, and science … not by watching, but by doing!

College Fairs
The CEED participates in several college fairs throughout the year. At these events, information about Virginia Tech's College of Engineering is provided to prospective students. The college fairs offer a means of increasing the visibility of Virginia Tech and reaching out to those students who may not have the opportunity to visit our campus.
