Project Goals
In addition to the overall goal of increasing the number of
undergraduate engineering degrees earned in the state of
Washington by 10% over five years, NW-ETEP will also:
- increase by 100% the number of underrepresented
minorities earning undergraduate engineering degrees
- increase by 20% the number of women earning
undergraduate engineering degrees
- develop and implement a statewide strategy to fully
utilize the capacity of all the state's engineering
programs (and ultimately all STEM programs).
