The Engineering Career Awareness Program, which was initiated by College of Engineering alumnus Troy Alley, is designed to recruit students who are underrepresented in the field of engineering, and to give these students the support they need to graduate and begin their careers. ECAP provides financial assistance to qualifying students, as well as a summer bridge program and a network of academic and social support.

“The College of Engineering is very proud of this program, and of the dedicated staff members who have helped it succeed,” said Dean Saxena. “We’d like to congratulate Troy Alley on having the insight to start ECAP, and most of all, we want to congratulate our ECAP students. It is their hard work and successes that have made this program so great.”
