Antelope Valley Engineering Program: A Case Study In A Diverse Regional Partnership

The framework for a case study on a locally-enabled ABET accredited engineering degree objective program is discussed. A unique partnership has developed not only to create the program, but also to sustain it. The case study methodology and framework will be used to elucidate the constitution, motivations, actions, and effectiveness of the partnerships in developing a sustainable local engineering program. The information developed through the case study should illustrate the effects and efficacy of educational leadership applied to the partnership efforts. This paper details the case study framework, creates a structure for the current partnership participants, and introduces the local engineering program history.
