Welcome to the Equity and Inclusion in Engineering Program at UIC! Heading link
The Equity and Inclusion in Engineering Program (EIEP) supports the transition to UIC Engineering for historically underrepresented populations, first-generation students, and members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community; and supports their persistence in the engineering and technology fields. EIEP also provides academic advising, scholarship opportunities, mentorship, and various programs to enhance students’ experience at UIC.

“Being a commuter the EIEP feels like a second living room. It’s a comforting space with games, music, snacks, and amazing people. If you’re looking for a mini oasis on campus it’s the EIEP lounge.”
| Current undergraduate student in Environmental Engineering and Greer Scholar

UIC is located on the traditional homelands of the Three Fire Peoples — the Ojibwe, Odawa, Bodéwadmi, and other Nations such as the Menominee, Ho-Chunk, Miami, and many other Indigenous Peoples. The U of I System carries out its mission in its namesake state, Illinois, and has a responsibility to acknowledge these Native Nations and to work with them as we move forward as a vibrant, inclusive institution.
