TALENT

Program Director - Stacy Pederson
Faculty Director - Dr. Nina Telang

The ECE TALENT Success Program provides students with educational tools that contribute to increased retention, attrition, and graduation rates by partnering academic advisors with ECE students who want to improve their Grade Point Averages and strengthen engineering identity. TALENT connects students to valuable resources through the department, the Cockrell School of Engineering and The University of Texas at Austin.

Mission

The Mission of The ECE TALENT Success Program is to educate students in the value of self- identifying academic strengths and challenges, and the importance of designing short and long- term goals that will result in earning a Bachelor’s of Science in Electrical Engineering. TALENT promotes success and empowerment for ECE students in their academic success and identity development while cultivating an inclusive engineering community in Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Talent Students have access to:

  • A designated Academic Advisor
  • Academic Enrichment and Personal Development Workshops 
  • An assigned peer mentor
  • Monthly class progress checks with your instructors
  • Additional Office Hours with Faculty Director
  • Monthly socials with free food and prizes
