The Cullen College of Engineering has a program focused on the recruitment and retention of students–the Program for Mastery in Engineering Studies (PROMES), pronounced "promise." PROMES provides academic advising, workshops, scholarships and job opportunities for engineering students. PROMES academic excellence workshops have propelled PROMES students to the top of their math classes.
PROMES students are clustered into common sections of classes and have an opportunity to participate in special skill building and problem-solving classes. Thus, PROMES creates a small college atmosphere within the larger university. Three-semester freshman retention is among the highest at UH.
PROMES works closely with student chapters of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), the Society of Mexican American Engineers & Scientists (MAES), the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) and the Society of Women Engineers (SWE). The leaders of these groups together with PROMES staff make up the PROMES Steering Committee.
