It incorporates established best practices for working with URM students such asSTEM identity formation through experiential programs including student research andinternships, a focus on critical junctures, training of faculty and staff to enhance culturalcompetency, and building of academic integration and STEM self-efficacy. An extensiveevaluation plan designed around the project logic model will be used as the basis for projectassessment. This paper includes a description of the project, partner institutions, and first yearresearch and evaluation results.Introduction

Technology (IT) profession [15]. The alignment of an organisation’sinformation technology to its business strategies is a recurrent theme in IS research[6]. The increasing complexity of today’s business and IT environments makes itmore difficult for organisations to design an Enterprise architecture that supports thecompany’s business objectives and enables the IT staff to deliver applications thatalign with business goals.Enterprise Architecture is about understanding all of the different elements that go tomake up the Enterprise and how those elements interrelate.

An important challenge of engineering professors is to group their students in a mannerthat will set the stage for effective learning. Many researchers have suggested criteria thatshould be used when instructors form the teams.18,22,27,28 Common strategies are to form teamsof three to five students with a heterogeneity of grades and/or abilities, and avoid isolatingminorities.

Often they aremore responsive avoiding negative consequences than they are at seeking positive outcomes. Thetiming of the negative consequence is much more important than its magnitude. This is thephilosophy of the unit quiz, a primary instrument used to emphasize and measure conceptualknowledge. The unit quiz is particularly effective in the engineering science courses that mayemphasize operational knowledge at the expense of conceptual knowledge.The Unit Quiz (a.k.a. the Reading Quiz) Originally referred to as a “unit quiz” because it is based on a “reading unit,” in practice it isoften referred to as a “reading
