The ESTEEM (Enhanced Support in Technology Entrepreneurship for Engineering Majors) program provides financial, academic and social support to first-generation college students enrolled in engineering or computer science. Four cohorts of 10 juniors are selected in the Fall quarter for four consecutive academic years. Each Scholar has strong academic potential, financial need, and a desire to complement their technical training with entrepreneurship/leadership skills. The overall objective of the ESTEEM program is to increase the completion rate of engineering degrees and promote successful transitions to careers in engineering and related fields by low-income first-generation college students. The students are provided scholarships, tutoring, community-building, networking events, and assistance with graduate school and employment applications. In addition, ESTEEM Scholars have the opportunity to act as peer-mentors for lower-division engineering students, to undertake summer internships in a research lab or in industry, and to attend a professional meeting.

对工程专业的技术企业家精神的尊重（增强的支持）计划为入学的第一代大学学生提供了财务，学术和社会支持，从而提供了工程学或计算机科学。连续四个学年，在秋季季度中选出了四个队列的10名大三学生。每个学者都有强大的学术潜力，经济需求以及渴望通过企业家/领导技能来补充其技术培训的愿望。尊敬计划的总体目标是提高工程学位的完成率，并通过低收入第一代大学生促进工程和相关领域的职业的成功过渡。为学生提供奖学金，辅导，社区建设，网络活动以及研究生院和就业应用程序的帮助。此外，尊敬学者有机会担任下级工程专业学生的同伴，在研究实验室或行业中进行暑期实习，并参加专业会议。
