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.
