, and Readiness for Engineering andTechnology (GEARSET) Program is to enhance the student learning, academic pathways,academic performance, professional preparation, retention, and graduation of low-income,academically talented (LIAT) students aspiring to engineering careers. By recruiting a diversepool of students with demonstrated academic talent, and by facilitating a pathway to engineeringand technology majors for students who must first complete required pre-engineering courses,we also seek to increase the equity and diversity of the institution’s College of Engineering. Theproject will contribute to the existing knowledge of the impact of financial aid, mentoring,academic support, and professional development on the engineering career
