. DataTable 1is dedicated to the courses taken in the current semester. In the app, the current semester was setas a span of time from the day a student cannot add any more classes until the end of thesemester. All future courses in the degree plan will be placed in DataTable 2, DataTable 3, andso on. If a user uses the app in October 2021, Fall 2021 will be considered as the currentsemester, and the courses taken currently will be placed in DataTable 1. Figure 3: Course selection processThe app will look for appropriate courses for Spring 2022, Fall 2022, and so on that meet theconditions. Here Spring 2022, Fall 2022, and so on represent the course data for DataTable 2,DataTable 3, and so on, respectively. For each

entering college wanting a science degree, arrive in twogeneral groups. Group one is students proficient in math, and place directly into calculus and thesecond group are those that are not. These students enter a series of intermediate to collegealgebra and trigonometry courses to eventually place into calculus. In addition, all sciencemajors require statistics so this course will also be given RL problems that relate to statisticalprocedures. Table 1 shows the list of courses that have been identified as candidates forimplementation. These courses have been selected due to the connection between math conceptsand surveying RL problems. In our first implementation, we plan to use RL problems in Math 22and 26 (Spring of 2022). These are the courses

Following these meetings, the Director ofDEI shares announcements and updates at the biweekly MEAM faculty meetings. Other methodsof disseminating the work on the taskforce include a #diversity channel on the MEAM-wideSlack workspace, emails, and discussion at the annual faculty retreat. All meeting minutes andreference materials are also posted on Box, the cloud-based file-sharing service, and accessibleto all faculty.DemographicsThe current demographics of the MEAM department undergraduate student body (Table 1) andfull-time faculty and staff (Table 2) are shown below.

In 2020, theNew York University, Tandon School of engineering, was readying for its ABET accreditationvisit and its subsequent MSCHE visit in 2022-23. The preparation of the self-study report forABET raised the aforementioned problem of integrating inputs and processes in a meaningfulway that facilitates continuous improvement. The purpose of this paper is to describe how theNew York University (NYU) BSCE program addressed ABET and MSCHE requirements

Nonetheless, the Department of Labor(DOL) estimates the Biotechnology workforce growth of 5.8%, a value above the national average forengineering and engineering technologists.Biotechnology’s interdisciplinary nature demands biotech professionals to be well-versed in multiple STEMareas including biology, chemistry, environmental science, physics, and engineering which is unrealistic toachieve in 2-year or 4-year higher education.

The first assessment tool is the blindedtranscripts of all of the students in the three cohorts. Each student’s transcript will be statisticallyanalyzed to quantify the differences between cohorts of performance in sophomore-level civilengineering courses, time to select specialization, time to graduate, and the rate of attrition fromthe program. The second assessment tool is the graduating senior survey which is administeredin the culminating senior design course in the final week of
