Inpart because of this and in part because it is an important part of proposal review, our reviewerswere asked to closely read the current program description and calls for proposals and evaluatethe proposals with respect to how well they matched the current call. This allowed for apotentially greater range of quality evaluations, with the understanding that there would be amismatch between the current call and the call the original proposals responded to.

Literature ReviewTwo areas of literature are relevant to this study: instructional development in engineering; andinstructional development during the pandemic.2.1 Instructional Development in engineeringThe need for instructional development in engineering has become increasingly important overthe past two decades [5]. This has been driven by several factors, including outcomes-basedaccreditation of engineering programs, changing demographics and attributes of engineeringstudents, advances in instructional technology and cognitive science, and the increased emphasison scholarship of teaching and learning in engineering education [6].On

underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), Hispanic adults continueto be underutilized talent pool. Although lower Hispanic enrollments in higher education have been cited as a primarybarrier to STEM careers, more Hispanic high school students are enrolling in higher education. They represent thesecond largest ethno-racial group among undergraduates (25%). Despite the relatively high representation inundergraduate education, they represent only 8% of the total STEM workforce. Women and Hispanic women remainseverely underrepresented in STEM fields. Currently, women comprise 25% of the STEM workforce, and Hispanicwomen comprise less than 2% of the STEM workforce [1]. Addressing the equity gaps in male-dominated fields

Purdue UniversityFort Wayne is a metropolitan, non-selective, public institution with a high percentage of under-prepared, first-generation, low-income, commuter students, many of whom work. The objectivesof this project are to (a) increase graduation rates of the STEM cohorts; (b) build the foundationfor a sustainable institutional structure and support STEM scholars and other students; (c) carryout research designed to advance understanding of the factors, practices, and curricular and

TheAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) and other agencies have providedguidelines for educational institutions [8], through accreditation processes, to provide studentswith the professional and technical skills they need, but programs then need to have an explicitplan for implementation [9].This project was developed to supplement already existing university and DIB efforts to producestudents with robust and specialized knowledge to work in the microelectronics industry. Thiscertification program was developed using prior examples, such as the Six Sigma manufacturingquality certification, a multi-disciplinary certification that is accepted by a variety of fields andcompanies [10].
