To maintain a close-knit community and to ensure that students will remain in cohorts beyond the duration of the program students are assigned into four teams based on their majors.
The Diamond Team = Bioengineering
The Ruby Team = Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering Sciences
The Sapphire Team = Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences major,
The Emerald Team = Industrial Engineering & Operations Research, Materials Sciences, Mechanical Engineering, and Nuclear, respectively.
Engineering Undeclared students will join the team that corresponds to the major that they plan to pursue.
Why did we name our groups Diamonds, Emeralds Sapphires, and Rubies? Because all of our PREP and T-PREP students are Gems!!
