Mechanical Engineering (ME) websites at the four partner colleges ofengineering under study. We followed links related to curriculum, minority engineeringprograms in the colleges of engineering, living and learning communities (LLCs), studentorganizations, and the like. We also interviewed “key informants” on each campus in such rolesas Associate Dean for Undergraduate Students, advisors in ME and ECE, first-year advisors,heads of minority engineering programs, and heads of student services organizations servingdiverse students. Key informants were asked, as part of a semi-structured interview, to describethe various programs that they provide to all students generally and Black students in particular,and the intended and actual outcomes of such

proven useful as a recruiting tool in that prospective students and theirparents are impressed to see funded research-related activities present in a traditionally non-research program.SUMMARY: Although advantages of integrating applied research into an undergraduateengineering technology program may not be directly quantifiable, these programs can clearlybenefit from such activity. At CalU, the Computer Engineering Technology and ElectricalEngineering Technology student enrollment has increased over the past five years from acombined total of about 90 majors to the current total of 150. There are a variety of explanationsfor this; however, it is the author’s conviction that one reason is the infusion of applied researchgrant projects into the
