The proposal was to takeadvantage of the long history of collaboration between these universities and to explore thepossibility to create an innovative cross-border engineering dual degree program challenging thecurrent policies in student mobility, credit transfer, cost of education, cultural adaptation, andlanguage barriers at both institutions. The difficulties posed by this initiative were abundant butthe desire to develop this partnership fueled the initiative and immediately an agenda was set toevaluate the feasibility of this project. Once both parties agreed that a project of this magnitudewould benefit their respective institutions, they moved forward to define the operationalguidelines and administrative requirements to

The two protoboard platforms also comewith an array of web accessible tutorials for protoboard familiarization and learning aid labs for electrical/electronicconcept demonstrations.To evaluate the EE Board, all of the support documents on the homepage were viewed. In addition the three sampleprojects from the homepage were performed. The introductory projects were analyzed for ease of comprehensionand expectation of predicted results. The analysis revealed the project instructions were easy to understand and theresults produced as predicted. Any misinterpretations were addressed as promptly as same

A summary of the diversity portion ofthe ERC’s strategic plan and progress in the past three years in relation to the milestones for“High Quality Diversity Effort” is highlighted. The key performance indicators show that ERCthrough its partnering institutions is making measurable impact in capacity building for a STEMworkforce as seen in the broad involvement of underrepresented minority students and faculty incenter activities. Project CARE was used as case example of college transition program that wasimplemented based on the proposed model activities. The results show that Project CAREcontributed to 86% educational growth and performance improvement among URM studentswho
