compromise in some areas. We used our funds judiciously, working toward creatingspecializations within the MDE program that would reflect the comparative strengths of theuniversity. Lesson 4: Consider ABET accreditation from the beginning.ABET accreditation is a key component in any engineering program, and the design of thecurriculum of each specialization and sequencing of classes within the MDE program should befocused on fulfilling and reinforcing any given School of Engineering's commitment to ABET'soverall educational objectives. Our program was built with ABET accreditation in mind from theearly planning stages. We ensured that our core degree choices would meet the requirements forthis accrediting body, and our assessment plan was integral

, by graphics to conveyideas about projects, mentioning that: “engineers have ideas in their minds, but whencommunicating them (...), they can get complicated. (...) you should know how to convey theseprocesses or ideas. (If they are) working on projects, the ideas must be clear." Participant Bresponded that in the labor market, especially when dealing with a customer, engineers shouldhave technical certifications to support their participation in the industry, “a graduated engineermust have updated certifications (for example) from recognized brands. It must be considered(by the graduate) when leaving the university.”These responses show that industry members are looking for specific skills or competencies ingraduates. For example, as a young

To achieve this goal, the collaborators have built onresearch, best practices, and evidence-based findings from other projects including severalcollaborators’ NSF/DUE S-STEM and STEP projects.2-1. GoalsThere are six overarching goals of the Urban STEM Collaboratory project. All project activities,evaluation, and research efforts were designed with these goals in mind. The six goals include:Goal 1. Increase the recruitment, retention, student success, and graduation rates of academicallytalented undergraduate mathematical sciences and engineering majors with financial need.Goal 2. Implement strategies and activities that contribute to student academic success
