Page 23.1090.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Strengthening Community College Engineering Education Through Collaboration and TechnologyAbstractThere has been a recent increase in awareness of the important role that community colleges playin educating future engineers, especially in broadening participation among students fromunderrepresented groups. However, budget problems at the state and national levels haveresulted in continuing budget cuts in community colleges. With limited resources whileresponding to increasing variability of lower-division transfer curricula as required by four-yearengineering programs, it has become increasingly difficult for small
