. American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021A Super Department Model for Multi-University CollaborationAbstract: Since 2013, a partnership of Electrical and Computer Engineering programs fromnearly 20 Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) have been collaborating to produce more andbetter-prepared graduates by leveraging connections between partner institutions and outsideorganizations from academia, government and industry. Key to the success of this collaborationhas been the development of a virtual working community of practice through regular online andin-person meetings, resource and idea sharing, collaborative assessment andpublication/dissemination of results, advocacy and mentoring for one another
this collaboration, however, is that by drawing on the practices of Page 7.514.10 Proceedings of the 2002 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright ©2002, American Society for Engineering Educationindustrial designers and design firms, we have been able to develop a state-of-the-art course inconceptual design adapted to the abilities of freshmen who lack the knowledge to tackle detaileddesign.
