Amigo initiative based on the Capability Maturity Model [4], see Figure 2,an extension of an integrated process improvement model with the goal to increase the processcapability of an institution’s educational processes. The process capability is the inherentability of a process to produce planned results. This engineering model was used to map theactivities required to complete accreditation to an appropriate level of capability of theaccreditation team. Everyone starts at Level 1, where the process are adhoc and results dependon the individuals involved. By applying Project Management techniques a Disciplined Processis developed, leading to Level 2, where the results are repeatable. At Level 2, EngineeringManagement principles are applied to

. At [my internship] I worked with pretty young like 30’s people and then people on the top like my boss. I had to work with American managers and Japanese managers and clients all over [the world]. (Miguel) On my resume I have knowledge of AutoCAD and, yes, I learned that from my engineering degree [program] but I really (emphasis added) learned it from my summer internship when I worked with my mentor doing some CAD projects with AutoCAD mechanical. When you’re doing an AutoCAD design a lot of shapes are already built into the program so you’re creating the design for the electrical person to follow. It’s cool because I learned how to build the basic components myself. (Alexis)While
