Engineering Design Technology Bridge Students Get Full-ride Scholarships to Top Universities
Cerritos College Bridge Program students Ashly Medina and Abieiden Lopez from Lynwood
High School were accepted to Columbia University and Stanford University respectively
on a full-ride scholarship for fall 2018. Ashly and Abieiden obtained a Certificate
of Achievement in Engineering Design and Development from Cerritos College last year,
and will be earning another Certificate of Achievement in Engineering Technology this
year. They also earned industrial certification for SOLIDWORKS® and AutoDesk CAD systems
during their studies at the College.
Their university acceptance comes with a complete scholarship that covers tuition, housing, meal plan, and books. Each scholarship is worth over $250,000. Both students plan to pursue engineering degrees.
“Our Bridge Program allows high school students to learn great aspects of engineering design, earn industry certifications, which give them a competitive edge in today’s job market, and for those interested in transferring, give them a quantum leap over other applicants in the technology and STEM fields,” Engineering Design Technology Professor Miodrag Micic.
The Engineering Design Technology classes are transferrable, and many of the classes are linked to standard industrial certifications including Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional and Certified Autodesk User. For more information, contact Dr. Micic at mmicic@cerritos.edu.
