Welcome to the Equity and Inclusion in Engineering Program at UIC!

The mission of the Equity and Inclusion in Engineering Program (EIEP) is to empower historically underrepresented populations, first-generation students, members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and all students in the College of Engineering to thrive in engineering and technology. EIEP fosters a welcoming environment that champions persistence and excellence at UIC Engineering and beyond through comprehensive support, including academic advising, scholarships, mentorship, and inclusive programming.

“EIEP became my home away from home ever since enrolling at UIC. Being a transfer and commuter student can be isolating, but the community I found here welcomed me with open arms. The lounge is my go-to spot to study, relax, and hang out with my favorite people during breaks between classes. I’m grateful for everything EIEP provides every day I come to campus.”
