Next Level Engineering Grant

The Texas A&M International University Next Level Engineering (TAMIU NLE) project is a 5-year, $3 million grant funded by the U.S. Department of Education under Title V. The grant aims to expand and enhance academic offerings, program quality, and institutional stability. TAMIU NLE was created with the vision of establishing graduate-level opportunities for Hispanic engineering students by developing a Master of Science (MS) in Systems Engineering and offering graduate certificates in relevant engineering fields. The project also seeks to expand institutional resources for graduate students and faculty members by providing workshops, scholarships, and graduate assistantships, thereby bolstering student engagement in research and fostering a sense of community within the engineering programs.

Areas of Focus

MS SENG Program

NLE provides funding for establishing a Master of Science in Systems Engineering (MS SENG) with a concentration on Data Analytics or Automation. Students graduating with an MS in SENG will meet the ever-growing demand by industry for highly qualified engineers in the field.

Workshops

NLE seeks to implement workshops that bolster community engagement and discussions on relevant topics to enhance the skills and knowledge of students, faculty, and staff of TAMIU's School of Engineering.

Graduate Assistantships

NLE seeks to support students enrolling in the MS SENG program by establishing graduate assistantships to relieve financial expenses. Graduate assistants will work closely with the faculty and develop skills that they can apply in the workplace.

Advising/Mentoring

NLE seeks to establish a dedicated academic advising destination for engineering students. To compliment this, the NLE grant will focus on helping our students build mentor-mentee relationships with the faculty.
