Summary
EMERGE is a community of educators involved in starting and growing new engineering programs and departments.
Description

With a new program, you have a unique opportunity to develop a program that instills your students with an entrepreneurial mindset. It is much harder to make this transformation after your program is up and running. Join the Entrepreneurially Minded Engineering Resource Group for Educators (EMERGE) for tools, community, and strategies to integrate the entrepreneurial mindset into your program right from the start!

EMERGE offers a unique network of expertise and support including:  

• Facilitated monthly virtual conversations on topics relevant to new engineering programs
• Annual two-day, in-person conference
• "Road Show" gatherings at conferences like ASEE 
• Travel awards to visit EMERGE or KEEN partner campuses



Who should join?

We recommend institutions participate in teams of at least two people (faculty, staff or administrators) who are engaged in the development of their undergraduate engineering program. However, individuals can still find EMERGE to be a useful experience and are welcome to participate. If you are interested in joining, please contact us at EMERGE@unc.edu. You'll be added to our mailing list and will receive monthly announcements about EMERGE gatherings and other opportunities.

 
Learning Objectives
EMERGE's goals are to:

• Learn from each other as a community
• Align mission and values with program implementation and culture
