taken a lead role in addressing this issue, investing inquality programs that prepare the state’s K-12 students to proceed into engineering degreecurricula. This is a large project due to the state’s social economics and students’ STEMpreparedness. According to the Arkansas Department of Education 2015-2016 data, 61% ofpublic school students receive free or reduced lunch with 41% of Arkansas school districtscontaining populations where at least 70% of students receive free or reduced lunch (15 districtsbetween 90% - 100%).[3] According to ACT, Arkansas students perform lower than the nationalaverage on all sections, especially in math (below a 20).[4] This means outreach activities areimperative to help expose, excite, and prepare students to

increasingcomplexity through initial exercises and subsequent assignments; they reported that studentsshowed significant gains in their abilities to perform the skills targeted with these assignments. 5Linder et al. used a modified version of the first approach and employed scaffolding inredesigning an introductory computer science course to keep students interested in their selectedmajors and better prepare them for higher-level classes. 6 Their scaffolding structure includedclassroom activities and short one-week assignments that target the skills needed in a largerassignment, which was the final class project. They observed that with the instructionalscaffolding approach followed in structuring and conducting assignments, the weaker studentswere able to

The Participation Project and its successor, Partnership to Advance VolunteerExcellence (PAVE) continued the collaboration between member societies, volunteers, andheadquarters staff to advance ABET’s commitment to continuous quality improvement of itsvolunteer processes beginning in 2003. PAVE led to a program evaluator competency model,new experiential volunteer training, workshops on assessment, and a new volunteer managementtool. Further demonstrating commitment to continuous quality improvement, ABET wasformally recognized as ISO 9001:2008 certified in 2015.Engineering Criteria as a Quality
