Students

Teams

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

The Emerald Team = Engineering Sciences, Aerospace, IEOR, Materials Sciences, Mechanical, and Nuclear

Engineering Undeclared students will join the team that corresponds to the major that they plan to pursue.

Groups

We also split students up into 3 groups, to build further community and rotate certain workshops and activities.

Group A: Sapphire and Diamond Team

Group B: Emerald Team

Group C: Ruby Team
