The College of Engineering and Information Technology (COEIT) at UMBC crosses the boundaries of engineering, computing, and information disciplines to develop research and educational programs that engage faculty, students, and staff from all of the disciplines. COEIT is deeply committed to the success of all of our faculty. We have formal programs including "launch committees" to encourage regular and structured mentorship for faculty to start successfully, mentoring programs to provide support in the longer term, shared services for grant finance support, grant writing and editing support, monthly gatherings in which faculty share lunch and community, and we encourage all of our faculty to participate in the university’s eminent scholar mentor program to build relationships with leaders in the field beyond UMBC.

Known for Inclusive Excellence, we are a Minority Serving Institution with over 61% of the undergraduate student body identifying as a racial or ethnic minority in 2022.

UMBC’s Meyerhoff Scholars Program (https://meyerhoff.umbc.edu) is at the forefront of efforts to increase diversity among future leaders in science, technology, engineering, and related fields and the Center for Women in Technology (CWIT, https://cwit.umbc.edu) is dedicated to providing global leadership in achieving women’s full participation in all aspects of information technology. Diversity efforts at the graduate student and postdoctoral career-stage are supported by PROMISE, which is the hub of professional development for all graduate students and postdocs at UMBC. The CSEE department actively engages with the Meyerhoff, CWIT, and PROMISE programs by organizing and attending events, mentoring students, etc. In the 2023 Chronicle of Higher Education Great College to Work For rankings, UMBC is on the list for the 14th year in a row and is in the Honor roll for the 12th year.
