Individuals at TCU’s may incorrectly conclude that their institution’s smaller scale and scope precludes participation in major research initiatives. Make a clear plan on how the TCU can best participate and what it is looking for in the partnership. Check in frequently and share feedback early and often with all members involved. Do not ignore cultural norms or traditions because the RU culture doesn’t account for it. These are teaching moments and they should be celebrated, not shrouded.• Foster trust outside of TCUs. Historic trauma and/or a fear of ‘saying the wrong thing’ have the potential to limit the free exchange of ideas. Pair up

Although both cohortsare not yet expected to have graduated, the majority of students (12 out of 18) are on track to doso within the next year or shortly thereafter, which conforms to a 4- to 5-year time to graduation.In fact, three students have graduated early (within 3.5 years), which already gives a resultinggraduation rate of 33% for the first cohort.

According to Williams [15], defining the learningoutcomes for an engineering undergraduate program is the critical first step in revising thecurriculum, developing courses, and creating an assessment plan. Learning outcomes can be used by faculty to assess students' learning progress throughoutthe program and should be defined for each competence. Evaluation rubrics have beenadopted to measure the various levels of competence development. Rubrics are valuable toolsin student assessment and help indicate students' learning level for the learning

Thus, it has become important to develop ashared language and understanding around what each program must accomplish. This has beenthe backbone of the collaborative activities that are planned for the future. Additionally, the university and the high school have begun to collaborate on project-based learning ideas.
