When you join this RAP you will... Share your living-and-learning experience with a community of high-achieving peers. Enroll in courses that satisfy College of Engineering requirements. Students take some of their first semester classes with others in the EnginRAP and also live together-which provides opportunities to support each other through study groups and other activities in their residence hall.

The College of Engineering offers workshops to EnginRAP students throughout the semester on topics such as scholarships, engineering competitions, and degree requirements.
