The Center for Engineering Education and Diversity (CEED) at Georgia Tech stands as a beacon of innovation, diversity, and empowerment within the world of engineering education. CEED dedicates itself to enhancing the quality and accessibility of engineering education for our diverse student body, thereby enriching the engineering field with diverse perspectives and skills.
At CEED, our mission is simple yet profound: to cultivate a diverse engineering workforce equipped to tackle global challenges with creativity and expertise. We achieve this through a comprehensive suite of programs designed to engage students from K-12 to college and beyond. From outreach initiatives in local communities to tailored support services for college students, CEED ensures that every aspiring engineer receives the mentorship, resources, and opportunities necessary to thrive.
For broader reach and greater impact, we pride ourselves on a collaborative approach, partnering with leading industries, educational institutions, and community organizations. These partnerships enable us to offer scholarships, internships, and dynamic workshop sessions, all aimed at preparing students for a successful career in engineering.
Throughout all our initiatives and program offerings, we continue to strive to provide the most impactful academic, professional, and personal support to all students served by CEED, a "Home Away From Home".
