Partnerships between HBCUs and Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs) haveemerged as a way to increase the number of Black students in engineering through Dual DegreeEngineering Programs (DDEP), often classified as 3-2 programs. Students in these programsattend an HBCU to complete all pre-engineering courses (typically three years) and spend theirfinal undergraduate years (typically two) at a PWI. At the end of the program, students wouldhave earned two bachelor’s degrees, one from the HBCU in a science, technology, engineering,or mathematics (STEM) field and the other from the PWI in an engineering discipline. Whilethere are many advantages to institutional collaborations, HBCU students must
