growing and improving allaspects of our college. Figure 1 illustrates the college's current strategic goals: reach AAU-levelperformance in research and innovation, provide access to an engineering education for allstudents in our state, and increase the number of graduates to support our state's economy. Thethird goal to increase engineering B.S. graduates from around 600 to over 800 has drawnattention from university leadership as well as the state legislature. The new EngineeringPathways (EP) program plays a significant role in the second and third goals, with EngineeringCatalyst as a cornerstone program to meet the goals. Increasing our number of
