A group of faculty members and/or students drawn from the colleges of arts,business, education, and engineering have worked together over the past two years, not only to buildbridges, but also to chalk up several positive outcomes. Our model has potential to be self-sustaining so itcan be used to expand/scale up our model to include other groups and colleges in the ensuing years. Theinfrastructure built will benefit the university, partnering colleges, faculty, & students, whilestrengthening the social fabric of the university and lowering technology barrier so one can continue tofocus on their passion, while benefitting from the rapid advances in science and engineering.IntroductionSmart phone applications are growing

According to a study of community colleges inCalifornia, only one in four students wanting to transfer or earn a degree/certificate did so withinsix years.1 The completion rates for African American and Hispanic students are even lower,with only 15% of African American students and 18% of Latino students completing a degree orcertificate within six years, compared to 27% of Caucasian students, and 33% of Asian students.For Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields, lower success and retentionrates for minority students are observed at both community college and university levelsresulting in underrepresentation of minority groups in these professions.

They recognized that certain innateintellectual capabilities are essential for problem solving, which include the general cognitiveabilities necessary for learning and applying declarative and procedural knowledge. The technicalskills refer to the abilities to manipulate and use a particular computing tool (i.e., Excel/VBA inthis context). The last of the triangle needed to utilize computing in engineering problem solvingis two types of specific knowledge. Conceptual knowledge is higher-level knowledge (i.e.,understanding at a more abstract level) of computing technologies and their limitations andstrengths. The application domain knowledge necessary is dependent upon the engineeringdiscipline where the problem resides. The
