The Engineering OnRamp (EO) serves as a pathway for a diverse group of pre-college students to discover engineering as a profession and choose the U-M College of Engineering as the place where they want to prepare for their future.  We do this through summertime academies and year-round activities that help students:

  • Explore a variety of engineering disciplines
  • Expand their vision of what they can achieve, and
  • Experience tackling real-world challenges at the CoE

We also equip families with the knowledge, skills, and the ability to support young people preparing for and applying to engineering colleges like Michigan Engineering.
