This project provides thirty scholarships to academically talented financial needy sophomore students majoring in electrical, civil and industrial engineering. Students are selected based on grade point average and strength of essays and recommendation letters. The motivations of the student and career goals are also important factors.The project centers on building a community of engineering scholars using faculty mentors and other support mechanisms. The engineering Student Work Employment office plays a significant role by coordinating efforts with partners in industries and government for summer internship opportunities, career placement and seminar development, which are designed to enhance career or higher education placement. Faculty members in the students' disciplines mentor the scholars throughout the duration of the program. The mentorship program is expected to be a major component of the project, building students' confidence and enhancing students' learning. Professional development is also an important part of the program, where students attend professional meetings or professional development workshops.

该项目为电气、土木工程和工业工程专业的有才华的经济困难的大二学生提供30个奖学金。学生是根据平均成绩和论文和推荐信的强度来选择的。学生和职业目标的动机也是重要的因素。该项目的中心是利用教师导师和其他支持机制建立一个工程学者社区。工科学生就业办公室发挥着重要作用，它与行业和政府合作伙伴协调努力，提供暑期实习机会、职业安置和研讨会发展，旨在促进职业或高等教育安置。在整个项目期间，学生学科的教职员工都会指导学者。导师计划预计将成为该项目的主要组成部分，建立学生的信心，提高学生的学习能力。专业发展也是该项目的重要组成部分，学生们参加专业会议或专业发展研讨会。
