The
College of Engineering at North Carolina A&T has
piloted and tested the HOME program, which mentors and
educates students from corporate partner’s geographic
area.
This student forms ties
and connections with the corporation through mentoring
and internship programs and this student is a candidate
for employment upon completion of their degree in the
College of Engineering.
The
purpose of the Helping Orient
Minority Engineers (HOME)
program can be characterized in
the following ways:
 |
Increase enrollment of
College of Engineering |
|
|
Improve retention of
both students and future
employees
 |
Orient students
to NC A&T and a
corporation
within their
geographic area |
|
|
Introduce
students to the
interdisciplinary
world of
engineering |
|
|
Empower students
to be successful |
|
The
College of Engineering is
committed to make the HOME
program a key component in
Engineering Experience at NC A&T
to capitalize on the strengths
of the university and the
college.
The Engineering Experience is
composed of the academic,
student development, and
corporate partnerships
experiences within the college.
The
immediate HOME program benefits
to the students include academic
credit, orientation to the
Engineering Experience, and
financial support.
The long term benefits include
strategies for success and
mentoring in their academic
careers and opportunities for
summer and long term employment.
Corporations that participated
in the HOME program for summer
2005 include: Procter & Gamble,
Ford Motor Company, GE Advanced
Materials, and Duke Energy.
If your corporation would like
to participate in the HOME
program, we are starting
planning for summer 2006.
We are also interested in
seeking alumni mentors for our
HOME students.
