The STEM Summer Bridge Program works with underrepresented students to teach them more about engineering and help them transition from high school to college. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
For four weeks of the summer, the Academic Excellence Program (AEP) partners with Auburn University’s College of Sciences and Mathematics (COSAM) Office of Inclusion, Equity and Diversity to host the program for incoming freshmen.
During the program, students go to classes such as physics, chemistry and mathematics as well as computer engineering, according to Dr. Cordelia Brown, director of the AEP program and senior lecturer of electrical and computer engineering at Auburn.This program focuses on “academic excellence, professional development and becoming more independent,” according to Brown.
