MIT’s Office of Engineering Outreach Programs (OEOP) in the School of Engineering (SOE) runs five core programs for middle and high school students. In 1975, the SOE launched the Minority Introduction to Engineering and Science (MITES) Program to address the low numbers of minority students pursuing advanced technical degrees. Since its inception, more than 1,600 students have participated in MITES, of which 32 percent have matriculated at MIT and over 80%have gone on to major in technical fields. In 2002, OEOP launched the Saturday Engineering Enrichment and Discovery (SEED) Academy as a companion program to MITES focused on exposing high school students from the Boston area to engineering fields.
