[13], [16].Research suggests that peer support is an important factor in creating a sense of belonging andsupportive educational environment, which can contribute to the persistence and graduation ratesfor minority engineering students [3], [13]. While the majority of these relationships are formedin the engineering program and in campus minority organizations, peer networks outside ofacademics provide an important role in the success of students [2]. Minority engineeringstudents often separate academic and social peer networks due to the limited number of minoritystudents in engineering programs [2]. Palmer, Marahba and Holmes’ (2010) study withundergraduate minority students found that friend support from peers outside of their

. An interdisciplinaryteam of engineering educators, computer science and behavioral science professors, employed arobust systems engineering process to design the major so that the needs of all constituencieswould be met during a time of constrained resources. In true systems engineering fashion, theteam created a robust program architecture based on customer needs and requirements, a reviewof existing programs, and a forward-looking concept of operations. The architecture not onlyincluded the curricular design, but also addressed other aspects of the system, to includeorganizational design, marketing, and research. The systems engineering methodology allowedthe team to establish the systems engineering major in an efficient, thorough, and

ET educators with regard to the branding ofET programs? Moreover, can an ET program have its own brand identity andbuild the freestanding stature desired, without being compared to traditionalengineering programs?Introduction The effectiveness of branding is closely coupled with market perceptions.The market perception of the engineering technology programs and the degreesthat they award is that they are subordinate to those from the superior brand ofengineering. The subordinate engineering technology program and its degreeshave been often defined and explained in term of engineering programs. Often,the significant differentiation between the two is lost in the perceived familiaritywith the term engineering and lack of complete
suggests only one entrypoint with many “leaks” or exit points.12,13 In keeping with this paths metaphor, this workconsiders a diversity of approaches by which students proceed from matriculating to aninstitution to being enrolled in a degree-granting engineering program and taking classes fromfaculty in that discipline.To the extent that important outcomes are affected by the matriculation practices of aninstitution, it is important to the engineering education enterprise as a whole to know howprevalent the various matriculation models are. Independent of this systemic objective,institutions with a diversity of matriculation models have an interest in improving these variousoutcomes and, in some cases, have an interest in changing from one

fostering diversity, but few studies [5], [6] dig deeply into the specificchallenges and aspirations of women in engineering programs within these institutions. Addressingthis gap is essential to tailoring interventions and policies that reflect the unique needs andstrengths of this demographic.The findings of this work have implications that extend beyond academic inquiry. Insights gainedfrom this research can inform institutional policies at HBCUs by highlighting the importance ofmentorship, community support, and targeted interventions to enhance retention and successamong women in engineering. These findings could bring about broader diversity and inclusionefforts within engineering education, contributing to a more innovative and

Among the ten recommendationsmade by the committee, the proposal that an “inquiry-based learning” environment providesgreater advantages than the traditional lecture mode of teaching has garnered the greatestattention.

These factors also come into play when considering the objective or intendedimpact of the instruction.
