for continuous engineering education would be the creation of aseamless value chain in which a college of engineering would coordinate activities that benefitstudents from age 5 to 105. In such a value chain, alumni and other area technical professionalswould have access to non-credit opportunities for professional development that local, regionaland other employers actively support. Through such an inclusive ecosystem, we could deploy ametaphor of a system of systems of value-added activities that supports learning among K-12,college, graduate school, and engineering professionals. A university’s college of engineeringcan create a unique role for itself by brokering such activities. In this role, the need for marketfeedback for process

Although the results were encouraging, the analysis revealed that lessthan 1 in 4 FAMU students completed the pre-engineering program successfully. A deductioncan be made that completion of the pre-engineering program is a good predictor for persistenceto an engineering degree completion. Based on this information, it was determined that bysignificantly increasing the percentage of students who complete the pre-engineering program,there could be an increase in students that persist to graduation. The problem arose of how toincrease the number of black students that persist through the engineering curriculum.A recent
