The long-term plan is to createnew pathways as a concerted effort to affect systemic changes beyond individual groups ofstudents on a regional level in the state, with potential future expansions to the otherinstitutions and regional higher education centers. This initial study and evaluationunderscore a unique opportunity to bring together students, scientists/engineers, andadministrative leaders to shape change for the future, while leveraging existing programssuch as the Minority Engineering Program

However, it was not possible for logistic reasons. Instead, our goal is toverify that activities are well suited to the context at hand, to learn about related difficulties,and to document potential improvements. We invited students to participate in an onlinesurvey at mid-term and we conducted a focus group at the end of the semester.
