The Brown Summer Transition Engineering Program (STEP) is an empowering, hybrid undergraduate pre-orientation program designed to foster inclusion, community, and inspiration needed to thrive in engineering.

• STEP students learn more about engineering, with an emphasis on underrepresented inclusion and community.
• Students additionally engage with the various support resources available across the University and the School of Engineering.
• No prior engineering experience is required.
• Students will engage in technical exercises and community building events. 

The online portion of the program will take place July 8 - August 16, with an additional residency option. Students opting into the STEP residency portion of the program will engage in specialized engineering cohort-building activities on campus from August 19 - 23, prior to the official start of the semester.
