education in 2040 as more accessible,inclusive, and equitable, highlighting the important role of community colleges in making thishappen [3]. An important need emerged, “to put less value on degree and more on competencies,experiences, and skills.” This need was supported by employers’ preference for “critical thinkerswho can apply learned information and skills to become specialists with on-the-job training” [3].In Broadening Participation in STEM: Effective Methods, Practices, and Programs,Wilson-Kennedy, et al., (2019) compiled fourteen case study programs and their high impactpractices (HIPs) that improved inclusion and success of underrepresented persons in STEM [4].Importantly, some of the HIPS are related to Experiential Learning, defined
indicators of the likelihood that students will complete theirengineering education and stay in the engineering profession over the long run. We can theninfer whether the intern program is contributing toward the two DoE goals and the Justice40objective. The survey results will also provide an indirect ABET assessment of our engineeringprograms.Over the coming years, our team will establish a cadence of candidate recruitment, programoperation, survey administration, and analysis of survey results. Survey results will be used toimprove program operations, improve data collection, and inform our evaluation of the DoE andJustice40 goals. Our team will follow up on this WIP with subsequent ASEE publications thatreport on the assessment

IntroductionIn a study of the Florida A&M University-Florida State University College of Engineering pre-engineering program, almost 700 engineering students were analyzed that were enrolled throughthe HBCU (FAMU) partner of the joint college [1]. Of the students who completed the pre-engineering program, 72% eventually graduated from the university with a

She employs active learning and project-based learning in her curriculum, using varied approaches for different levels, and correlating course design and teaching techniques to learning outcomes. Dr. Levey was awarded Best Professional Paper at the ASEE NE conference in 2020 for collaborative research related to identifying and addressing gaps in Math skills needed for courses at the sophomore level. She draws from her cross-functional team experience as a Metallurgical Engineer in applied research and development prior to moving into academia.Prof. Ahmet Can Sabuncu, Worcester Polytechnic Institute Dr. Sabuncu holds a Ph.
