MARCH 7, 2022 — Rabiat Sadiq , a freshman pursuing a degree in computer engineering through the UTSA Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), was recently awarded a $15,000 scholarship through the Apple Scholars program.
Sadiq credits the university’s near-peer mentor program, part of a newly implemented electrical and computer engineering initiative led by Henry Griffith , as key to her success.
The program improves the research skills of new ECE students by pairing them with advanced UTSA undergraduate students who have previously completed a computing research experience. The program also aids in the participants’ professional and personal development.
