Engineering Scholars Program
Honors Certificate

[ List of All Engineering Certificate Programs ]

The Engineering Scholars Program (ESP) was established for individuals who accept the challenge of an engineering degree, but who recognize that they need extra opportunities and preparation to achieve their goals. ESP is for students who are interested in more than a job - they want to invent, imagine, create, explore, inspire, or heal.

ESP provides a unique perspective to your education. Call it Extra Scholastic Perception, a sixth sense for your college career. We will introduce you to leaders in the worlds of engineering and business who will acquaint you with options you might never have considered. We'll help you look beyond next semester's classes to see the advanced research opportunities at Texas A&M that can lead you to an unforgettable one-on-one project with one of our professors. We will show you the paths other engineers took after college - paths that look less like that of Dilbert and more like that of Henry David Thoreau, a civil engineer who also had a pretty good writing career.
