Emerging Ethnic Engineers (E3) Participation Tiers

The Emerging Ethnic Engineers (E3) program offers three participation tiers to students. Each tier has requirements that students must complete in order to finish the program or advance to the next tier. Student progress is calculated utilizing activity points. Students receive activity points for participating in E3 activities. Once a student completes their desired tier, he/she/they will receive a decorative certificate and a signed letter of completion, outlining the tier requirements. Students who have completed the E3 program will also receive a stole for graduation.

Students must submit an interest survey prior to starting tier progress, and students must complete an exit survey in order to complete a tier. Students can submit the exit survey via the E3 Canvas Community. If you are a Choose Ohio First (COF) participant, Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) Scholar, or have completed the Summer STEM Bridge Program, you are automatically enrolled in our E3 program.

Following each approved activity, an assignment will appear in Canvas for you to submit a 3-5 sentence summary and reflection. Reflections must be submitted within one month from the participation date. Points will be awarded upon completion and be tracked in Canvas.
