About CMSE
Established in 1981 as a unit within the School of Engineering, the Center for Minorities in Science and Engineering provides academic support services and outreach programs designed to recruit, retain, and graduate African American, Hispanic American, and Native American engineering students.
The Center has a warm and friendly staff working to create a supportive environment to help accomplish this goal.
CMSE also provides support and guidance to the Black Engineers Society (NSBE) and the campus chapter of the Society for Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE).
