– California Master Plan for Higher Education4 (adopted in 1960)However, pressures from multiple sources are pointing to the need to change the way highereducation approaches engineering degrees. For example: • Stagnant numbers of new degreed engineers annually despite increasing demand (e.g., about 75,000 to 80,000 BS degrees per year in the United States since 2000)2 • Mandates for greater degree efficiency (e.g., minimum 120 semester-unit graduation requirements) in public institutions such as those in California3 • Increased costs of four-year undergraduate engineering programs at single institutions make attractive a cost-effective option that involves a two-year, lower-division pre- engineering program at one

Statistics for the male population werequite similar with 65% and 58%, respectively, with a bachelor or higher degree.
