Stanford Engineering Diversity Programs

“The Stanford School of Engineering, Office of Student Affairs specifically works towards promoting and inspiring innovative approaches to fairness in higher education and workplaces by removing barriers to full participation: “educational, engineering, equity, and diversity matter.”” The Office of Student Affairs’ mission is realized through their various programs dedicated to enriching the experiences of Stanford’s engineers.

The Opportunity Job Fair (OJF):
“OJF is a career fair and reception sponsored by the Stanford School of Engineering and the Stanford Career Development Center, and is held on campus in late January each year. The fair is produced exclusively for current Stanford engineering and science students.”

The OJF is produced by volunteers from four student technical societies:

  • The Stanford Society of Black Scientists and Engineers (SBSE)
  • The American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) Stanford Chapter
  • The Stanford Society of Women Engineers (SWE)
  • The Stanford Society of Latino Engineers (SOLE)

Accelerated Calculus for Engineers (ACE):
“ACE is designed to help you develop the solid foundation in mathematics that you will need to excel in your undergraduate and graduate studies. We are extending invitations to a select group of engineering students who have expressed a preliminary academic interest (PAI) in engineering and who represent merit and diversity in science, technology, engineering, and math. Whatever career path you choose, the goal of the program is to help you achieve to the very best of your abilities by focusing your study-time with supplemental instruction.”

 

Summer Session Grants (SSG):
“The SSG provides funding for undergraduate students, especially for underrepresented groups. Students pursue course work during the summer session at other accredited colleges and universities or at Stanford.”

PURPOSE
“The program assists students in completing courses required for an engineering major, e.g. engineering fundamentals, science, chemistry, differential equations, other math, GER, etc. It provides flexibility in the student’s four year plans and an opportunity to improve the student’s grade point average.”

 

Stanford Summer Engineering Academy:
“The Stanford Summer Engineering Academy (SSEA) was established in 1998 with the goal of attracting a diverse student body to the School of Engineering. We especially want to encourage women and minority students to apply to this rigorous introduction to our engineering, math, and physical sciences programs. The four-week, on-campus academy is free to newly admitted Stanford freshmen, who will be arriving on campus for the first time in the Fall. It consists of an intensive schedule of classes and activities and has room for up to 50 incoming, accepted freshmen.”

This program is for Newly Admitted Stanford Freshmen only.
