International Programs in Engineering: Discover how you can utilize and improve your engineering skills while making a difference abroad

CoE Peer Mentoring Program: The College of Engineering Peer Mentoring Program is open to all new first-year Engineering students who want to benefit from the guidance of an experienced engineering student. These peer mentors provide support and direction to first-year students, especially right before and after they move to campus.  Mentors help new students make connections with the people, places, and programs that will get them off to a good start in their first semester. It’s a fast and fun way to connect to the College and the campus.  This program is coordinated by the Engineering Advising Center.

University Mentorship Program (UMP): As part of the Office of New Student Programs, UMP provides support to students making the transition from high school to college. Mentorship is open to all first-year students. The program is one of the many Michigan Learning Communities available to students on campus. These programs help to make the University a smaller place by building relationships between students, faculty, and staff. Throughout the fall semester, Mentorship groups participate in a variety of activities, both academic and social, that work towards supporting and encouraging each first-year student.

Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP): Creates research partnerships between first- and second-year students and UM faculty. All schools and colleges are active participants in UROP, providing a wealth of research topics from which students can choose. The program continues to grow, offering more first and second-year students the opportunity to be part of an exciting research community.
