Eachof these areas includes many sub-questions.A list of 136 questions was compiled to begin the project of providing answers to the criticalengineering student questions. The answers to these questions will eventually be posted on thewebsite of an engineering transfer student program

first demand was a demand for 50 new academic scholarships for Black Students bySeptember of 1968; and by 1971, a demand that at least 10 percent of the incoming freshmanclass be black and to establish a Program such as Project Ujima to aid in the recruitment,retention, support, and academic/career/personal/cultural development of Black students.Shortly thereafter, in February 1969, the Black students submitted a proposal for an Afro-American Institute (AAI) and a Black Studies Department, which the Board of Trustees grantedpermission for the use of a building referred to as the Forsyth Annex to serve as the first AAIhome.The Ujima Scholars Program, formerly known as Project Ujima, grew out of the establishment ofthe African-American Institute

Overall, the percent of engineering students graduating in fouryears has increased from 7.3% for Fall 2013 freshmen to 17.4% for Fall 2015 freshmen, our firstcohort in this project. We surveyed all the engineering students scheduled to graduate either inSpring or Summer 2019 and asked them about their experiences at SJSU. This paper will discussthe results of a survey of the engineering students who graduated in four years and what helpedthem graduate in a timely manner.

Note the projection for computer networks (network systems and datacommunications).The proposed model also targets retention, breaking up long-term goals (e.g., obtaining abachelor degree) into milestones, where a milestone can be the completion of the 4 courses in thearea of computer networks. By doing so, the model provides a safety net to students, who areable to acquire skills demanded by the job-market early during their studies. Moreover, theprogram helps in avoiding high dropout rates during early semesters, where institutions havehistorically experienced higher dropout rates because of lack in incentive for students and limitedhands-on experience.
