Tri-University Engineering Study and Improvement Effort 

In-Person Gathering

Event Overview

The Tri-University Engineering and Improvement Effort is hosting an in-person gathering in San Diego California on April 15-16, 2024. 

Participants will be able to work with faculty from the three participating institutions to better understand student outcomes in engineering, and identify a strategy and vision to increase equitable access to engineering degrees. 

Project Overview

The Tri-University Engineering Study focuses on increasing the equitable attainment of engineering degrees and improving four-year graduation rates in five engineering disciplines; a challenge that is increasingly difficult at four-year institutions. Using Kotter’s Change Model as a guiding framework, this study aims to:

1. Evaluate how various engineering disciplines differ regarding the curriculum and instruction they tend to offer.
2. Measure how the differences in curriculum and instruction between disciplines impact time-to-degree and student success across student demographic groups.
3. Evaluate the systemic inequities built into the respective engineering disciplines due to curricular structure and/or instructional design. 

To accomplish these aims, we have collected curricular structure, student performance, and demographic data to identify equity gaps and address demographic discrepancies between state, university, and engineering discipline populations. Faculty Learning Communities will lead the data analysis and use this analysis to develop a vision and strategy for addressing equity gaps and improving four-year graduation rates in engineering disciplines.
