The major change in the programming of the NACME project occurred in January 2005, when the Guaranteed 4.0 Plan by Donna O. Johnson9 was introduced to the NACME students.10 In Fall 2005 the first new freshmen class was presented with the Plan. The results of this 4.0 Plan were dramatic with the freshmen with a significantly improved first semester GPA.10 At the center of this program is a detailed time management plan. A Check List for the Detailed Time Management Schedule was developed and reported, as well as the assignments that support the 4.0 Plan.10, 11 II.

The challenge was to implement a qualityeducational program subject to the constraints of being a rural university and lack of namerecognition.The key to the success of the accreditation effort was to create a process that demonstratedcompliance with ABET criteria while also targeting the constraints of the problem. A team offaculty, called the Engineering Physics Oversight Committee (EPOC) was established to developand implement the process.
