Unlike Allan Hancock College, Cuesta College has historically served a large percentage of students (50%) outside of its service area. However, as noted in its 2011-16 master plan, this is shifting due to changing educational needs/populations in the county. o San Luis Obispo County is 3,616 square miles, with a 2020 estimated population of 282,424 that is 22.9% Latinx [20].

In a study published in 2016, only 23% of responding U.S. chemicalengineering departments had a required process safety course [5]. Due to courseoverload in most chemical engineering curriculum plans, it seems ideal to integrateprocess safety within core chemical engineering courses [6]. However, implementationwithin core classes

courses in most engineering programs.Similarly, but not as specifically, technical electives allow students to tailor their technicaleducation to specialize in a subdiscipline of their broader major. An advantage of specializing ina subdiscipline is the opportunity for the students to build a depth of knowledge in an area thatstudents taking a more general approach to an engineering discipline may not gain. Additionally,students can take courses that might not be directly related, but that would provide them with aset of skills that they feel will give them an edge in their planned career. This approach mightnot lead to a recognized concentration, but the student could describe their work in electivecourses to potential employers as they seek a

Theuniversity currently has a ~1.2 MW photovoltaic (PV) solar system that provides ~7% of theenergy consumed on campus. While a good start, this contribution is low considering theuniversity’s location in Southern California; there is an opportunity to greatly increase campusreliance on solar energy, and the university has committed to reaching carbon neutrality by 2035.The course was

The objective of such exposure throughout the curriculum is to catchthe interest of students at an early stage, and thus encourage them to pursue those career paths. The project uses web-based modules to address its goals at two levels. One is to increaseinterest in science and engineering at the lower level courses for majors and non-majors. Theother is to improve retention by offering support for upper level courses. While some modulesare course specific, others are deliberately planned to be independent, allowing for maximumflexibility. All modules are available over the Internet.
