unique local foundation to distinguishthemselves from competitors. Indeed, unified by the statewide curriculum frameworks andnational industry models and directives, program leaders have an opportunity to work togetheron a cohesive core curriculum, and concentrate on differentiating content in response to localneeds. Likewise, program leaders can collaborate to share strategies for working closely withindustry, attracting full time students, maintaining state-of-the-art facilities, and addressingserious faculty shortage issues—all challenges common to regional programs.Next steps for this research involve translating the findings for a number of practical audiences.For example, our works here suggest that that we should investigate best

Today, the school’s one- year undergraduate retention rate is 90%, the university’s Solar Decathlon team placed first worldwide in the most recent competition against other leading universities, our Engineers Without Borders chapter is considered one of the nation’s best, and the Engineering Sustainability Workshop launched by Pines has become a key campus event. Pines has testified before Congress on STEM education and created the Top 25 Source Schools program for Maryland high schools. He is also leading a national effort to develop an AP course in Engineering Design in partnership with the College Board. At $144 million, the school’s research expenditures are at a record high

. Identifying theneeded transfer courses in order to enter the upper-level engineering division courses can helpwill increase engineering graduation rates. Moreover, these graduation rates will impact the ratethat typically underrepresented populations will enter the engineering profession due to the factthat State colleges and community colleges typically serve a wider minority population.The goal of this paper is to reveal the common prerequisites that are required for select ABETengineering programs in the state of Florida. Many of these prerequisites are common to otherengineering programs nationwide, particularity other ABET accredited programs in similarfields. As a result of this investigation, options can be explored as to how best meet the
