INTRODUCTIONThe College of Engineering at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) has beenactively involved in the pre-college education effort for many years with the implementation ofthe MESA (Math, Engineering, Science Achievement) Secondary (Pre-College) Program. TheMESA mission is to motivate and prepare high school and junior high students to pursue math-based college education and careers. This mission is accomplished through developing academicand leadership skills, raising educational expectations, and instilling self-confidence inhistorically underrepresented students, namely African Americans, American Indians, MexicanAmericans and Latin Americans, in engineering

Theseinstitutions enroll 80% of all undergraduate SMET students in Puerto Rico. Two-thirds (2/3) ofthese students are the first generation in their families to attend college, and around seventypercent (70%) come from low-income households.

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.
