Furthermore, the findings of the HBCU LeadershipImpact Survey suggest that the impact on internal stakeholders is just as much of a concern. Oursurvey found that 69% of HBCU stakeholders felt that president/chancellor turnover at theinstitutions has a “high impact” on faculty engagement, and 52% felt the same about studentengagement.

The ABET outcomes encompass critical technical and non-technical skills forcollege students, ranging from the ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, andengineering to the ability to function on multidisciplinary teams [4]. The implementation of 3ABET criteria has led to statistically significant improvement in “awareness of societal andglobal issues…group skills… and awareness of issues relating to ethics and professionalism”while maintaining and even improving students’ understanding of the foundations
commitment; 3) genuine desire for the mentee tosucceed, and 4) willingness from faculty members to disseminate appropriate technical andpersonal wisdom. This emerging model, termed RCDD (e.g., acronym for Relationship,Commitment, Desire, Disseminate), gives faculty members a template to advance undergraduateengineering student success through a genuine mentorship role. Results indicate that graduatingstudents are better prepared when applying for employment or graduate school. It was also notedthat the confidence level increased going into internship opportunities or full-time employmentdue to their undergraduate involvement in research and the guidance from the faculty advisor.

Instructors can modify the centrally-produced technical content, butstill need to aim for the same learning objectives on which that centrally-produced content isbased. Learning objectives are theoretically determined by a curator team of faculty, rangingfrom 1-3 faculty
