ARISE Curriculum

The ARISE Curriculum provides scholars with the foundational skills to become master engineering students. The first-year courses focus on developing and strengthening problem solving, critical thinking, and academic strategies while setting the stage with foundational math and science courses. The second-year focuses on major exploration and development.

Success in the initial Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics courses is a critical step in pursuing an Engineering degree therefore ARISE works closely with academic support programs across Grainger Engineering. These resources have been an integral part of the success of our ARISE Scholars and the driving force behind the retention numbers of our underrepresented populations. We continue to incorporate these support classes into our curriculum.
