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 Majors.
The Ruby Team = Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering Sciences, Energy Engineering, Engineering Physics, Engineering/Math/Stats Majors.
The Sapphire Team = Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences majors.
The Emerald Team = Industrial Engineering & Operations Research, Materials Sciences, Mechanical Engineering, and Nuclear Engineering Majors.
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!!
