Admission to the Engineering Honors Program (EHP) is only by invitation to students of the highest caliber who have been admitted to the University and have expressed an interest in engineering. The EHP provides students with special opportunities for engineering research, cultural enrichment, and social leadership. First-year EHP students take special honors sections of humanities and engineering courses. And, as early as the sophomore year, students may begin work on the independent research project required of all honors students. Other activities include technical seminars -- covering topics such as bioengineering, energy, environmental sciences and engineering, high-performance computing, and nanotechnology; field trips -- ranging from museum tours in Chicago to laboratory tours of industry and research partners; and opportunities to interact individually with visiting scholars. Throughout the program an EHP adviser will work closely with each honors student to help prepare him or her for the next step, including admission to graduate school or the submission of applications for graduate fellowships and other scholarship programs, such as Rhodes and Marshall. Finally, successful completion of the program will be indicated on student transcripts, all permanent records, and the commencement program. For more information about the EHP, clidk [here]
