The curriculum at a small,urban, private school is centered around a series of hands-on, client-based design courses in eachof the four years of the plan of study called the DesignSpine®. Projects are completed over thecourse of a full academic year. Clients for these student projects are mainly external industrypartners, with some internal faculty or departmental clients and a small number of competitions.Faculty serve in multiple roles, including technical consultants and project team coachesthroughout the program.While historically successful, semester evaluations and team status

paper discusses the developments during Year 2 of a project concerned with analyzing thecurricula of engineering programs in the United States to understand the structural barriersembedded in degree requirements that could push out diverse groups of students. We are usingan emerging method for quantifying the complexity of these programs called CurricularAnalytics. This method involves treating the prerequisite relationships between courses as anetwork and applying graph theoretic measures to calculate a curriculum’s complexity. In Year 1,we collected 494 plans of study representing five engineering disciplines (i.e., Mechanical, Civil,Electrical, Chemical, and Industrial) across 13 institutions - spanning a decade. To ensure thedataset is as
