Engineers PRODUCED in Virginia (Providing Undergraduate Connections to Engineering Education in Virginia) is an academic outreach initiative of the U.Va. School of Engineering and Applied Science, in partnership with the Virginia Community College System (VCCS). Through this program, the Engineering School is reaching out to bring undergraduate engineering education to communities throughout Virginia.
The PRODUCED program is now available to students studying engineering at any of the schools within the VCCS.
Through the PRODUCED program, students can earn an Associate of Science in Engineering degree (or equivalent) from their local community college and then a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Science from the University of Virginia, all without leaving their communities. That is, by enrolling in their local, participating community college, students can take the first steps towards becoming an undergraduate engineering student at the University of Virginia and ultimately earning their Bachelor of Science degree in engineering from U.Va. At present, travel to Charlottesville is only necessary for selected laboratory activities in a few of the program's classes.
