The MechE Diversity Equity, and Inclusion Committee for Community Engagement
The MechE Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee for Community Engagement consists of nearly 30 students, staff, and faculty working aggressively on many initiatives to create a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment for all of us. Initititatives include:
Mechanical Engineering Outreach Stars (MEOS) program provides funding and recognition for student outreach efforts. Students can apply for a financial grant to support ongoing outreach activities. During the 2021-2022 school year, MEOS recognized 48 students for their contributions to the community.
