The Gordon Engineering Leadership Center, also known as Gordon Center, is the hub of engineering leadership development for the Jacobs School of Engineering at UC San Diego and exists to educate and equip engineering leaders to positively impact society. At the heart of the Gordon Center is the Gordon Scholars Program. This program is a comprehensive, clearly defined pathway for students to develop into engineering leaders. Gordon Scholars are selected students who demonstrate exceptional engineering leadership attitudes, capabilities, and knowledge. The Scholars attend a rigorous year long development program to increase the success rate in college and post-college careers.
