Perspectives In Engineering
Itasca Community College The Best Place To Start
For twenty years, ICC Engineering has worked hard to
"change the face" of engineering education at our college. We've always
believed that anyone who wants to become an engineer should have that
opportunity in a comfortable, welcoming environment. "The Perspectives In Engineering (PIE) scholarship program is aimed at providing students from a variety of backgrounds, regions, and cultures with the opportunity to pursue an engineering degree."
This web page has many resources to help you learn more about the
PIE Program, and guide you through the application process. However, if you
need more assistance, please email Kim Damiani, Director of Engineering Outreach,at kimberly.damiani@itascacc.edu. or call her at 218-322-2370.
Scholarship Summary
What if
you could attend your first two years of college (tuition, food, books,
supplies, housing, etc.) for under $5000 per year. Among other
benefits, the PIE Scholarship provides you with $3000 each year to go
towards your college expenses and, depending on your travel distance to
Grand Rapids, up to $5000 additional annual award.
Realize that even without a scholarship, ICC
Engineering is literally "more for less". By this we mean our learning
environment, student success rate, and student satisfaction is higher
than most every university engineers program across the nation at
50-60% the tuition and housing cost.

Residential Living (Housing)
You'll hear us talking a lot about our "Learning
Community" at ICC. It's actually an entire philosophy, and everything
we do in our Engineering Program starts from that base.
Our
two on-campus Engineering Residence Halls were thoughtfully designed to
encourage participation in our Learning Community, while providing
safe, comfortable , and convenient student living.
Itasca and Wenger Halls are reserved for engineering
students first, then filled on a first-come, first-served basis. The
Learning Community at ICC Engineering provides a full academic and personal support
network for each and every one of our students.

Engineering Degree Overview
You've heard the speeches about how engineering is a
great career. You know you'll probably make a lot of money and improve
the world a little or a lot. Well that's then, how about now? You're wondering
what your classes will be at ICC. Will they be interesting? Hard? Are you
up to the challenge?
To answer these questions fully would take a long
time. At ICC Engineering we have developed the Engineering
Professional Development course track that all of our students benefit from. These
classes answer the above questions and provide exceptional professional
development. Some covered areas are resumes, career planning,
engineering professions, etiquette, interview skills, and much more!
Read the Degree Overview we've put together by clicking here. If you have any questions, just ask.
Connecting With Your New Community
The Perspectives In Engineering project is a
continuation of ICC's efforts to increase the diversity of perspectives
in engineering, both in our program and throughout the nation. We've
had great success with programs designed to bring women, Anishinabe,
first-generation college students, and others into our program.
Thanks to this track record, we have a unique
opportunity to further increase the diversity of perspectives in
engineering. With your cultural background and hard work, you will
change the face of ICC Engineering, and make our program better for all
students who follow. We've put a great deal of thought into how to
welcome you into our Learning Community, and ask that you continue to
help us improve it.
