Syracuse University College of Engineering & Computer Science (USA)

Syracuse University College of Engineering & Computer Science

Founded in 1870, Syracuse University is an inclusive, student-focused, private research university that prepares citizens, scholars, and leaders to participate in a changing global society.

The College of Engineering and Computer Science at Syracuse University enjoys a long-standing reputation for excellence and innovation. The College, founded in 1901, offers more than thirty programmes across four departments: Biomedical and Chemical Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.

In 2023/2024, the Eurofins Foundation is contributing to the Ambassador Scholars Programme.

The Ambassador Scholars programme provides students who are first-generation, rural, or traditionally underrepresented in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields with access to services and resources to assist them in navigating their academic careers and reaching post-graduation success. The programme supports students who can change the future of these fields.

In spite of their potential and academic abilities, first-generation, rural, and traditionally underrepresented STEM students often face additional obstacles, responsibilities, and commitments that hinder their long-term performance. To assist and guide these students, faculty and administrators in the College of Engineering and Computer Science utilise the Ambassador Scholars programme to host targeted events, provide access to resources and opportunities, and serve as invested mentors. Key components of the Ambassador Scholars programme include personal guidance, academic support, leadership training, and professional development opportunities offered through robust on-campus programming and combined with regional experiential learning opportunities.
