has been instrumental in informing our curricular design and the founder ofESJP has joined us as a professor of praxis within the new General Engineering department.Program StructureThe General Engineering major was officially added to the the university catalog in Spring 2017.However, as students do not begin taking major-specific courses until after they complete thecommon engineering core, our first course will be offered in Fall 2017. We anticipate that ourprogram will be ABET accredited under the Engineering (general) category after we conferdegrees upon our first graduates in 2019.Our GE curriculum is divided into four components: university liberal arts requirements, anengineering core, GE major courses, and a concentration.

Engineering students.Second, the Penn State College of Engineering strives to meet the national benchmark fordiversity in Engineering set by the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) byawarding baccalaureate Engineering degrees to at least 130 African American and Hispanicstudents annually. In 2013, Penn State awarded 74 baccalaureate Engineering degrees to raciallyunderrepresented students. Therefore, our long-term goal is to achieve a net gain of at least 56Engineering degrees to racially underrepresented undergraduates. If we can improve our junior-year retention for University Park racially underrepresented Engineering students from 43% to63% (net gain of 86 students, from Table 1: 429 x .63) and our junior-year retention forAbington
