Making these opportunities in a single locationwidely accessible to an academically diverse campus is crucial to the development of engineers.Thus, the arrival of academic makerspaces on college campuses indicates an importantadvancement in the field of engineering design education [2].

Engineering Graphic and Multi-Media Design Cal Poly State University SLO SUNY CantonAbstractEngineering and art were not always completely separate disciplines. Take Leonardo da Vinci(born 1452) for example, who was equally as great an artist as an engineer. In recent years, therehas been a resurgence in efforts to bring these disciplines more closely together by adding thearts back into STEM education – or moving from STEM (science, technology, engineering andmath) to STEAM (science, technology, arts, engineering, and math). Engineering may give youthe skills to design and build, but the arts will give you the ability to design and build for thehuman condition.This paper describes an

equitable resources including funds andtechnology. Partnerships between HBCUs and Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs) haveemerged as a way to increase the number of Black students in engineering through Dual DegreeEngineering Programs (DDEP), often classified as 3-2 programs. Students in these programsattend an HBCU to complete all pre-engineering courses (typically three years) and spend theirfinal undergraduate years (typically two) at a PWI. At the end of the program, students wouldhave earned two bachelor’s degrees, one from the HBCU in a science, technology, engineering,or mathematics (STEM) field and the other from the PWI in an engineering discipline. Whilethere are many advantages to institutional collaborations, HBCU students must
