This case study showcases the success of UNM's Minority Engineering Bridge Program, demonstrating the benefits of partnering with libraries for grant workshops. The program involved various departments, including EECE and CSEL, focusing on minority engineering studies. The library played a crucial role in program design, instruction coordination, and student engagement. Insights were gained on effective communication, finding the right partners, and swift response times. The study proposes involving libraries and other departments in similar collaborative grants to serve rural communities, outlining necessary steps, staff involvement, and evaluation methods.
