+EASA- Access & Inclusion (A&I)
A&I was created in 2014- fairly new
Aim of A&I: To increase the diversity at COE- by increasing
intake of historically accepted Under Represented and Minority (URM) students
To Increase URM women students in COE
To Provide URM students access to information regarding Engineering degrees, financial aid, scholarships and overall support

Attributes of Innovation
![Page 15: + Innovation Project on EASA- Access & Inclusion By Shaifali Mathur](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051216/5697c01b1a28abf838ccfa27/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
+ Early application of the programs as HS Junior &
Senior students/ prospective UGs attend these events
2. High Compatibility Uplifting URM communities by providing access to
education
The idea connects to the parents
There have been no such formal bodies to encourage URM at COE
High compatibility with societal, community & national needs
1. High Relative Advantage
![Page 16: + Innovation Project on EASA- Access & Inclusion By Shaifali Mathur](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051216/5697c01b1a28abf838ccfa27/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
+ 3. Medium ComplexityFor A&I team
Managing funds Complex to manage all the programs with
perfection Booking event venues, preparing proper agendas,
managing the connections and communication channels with POCs (Partner HSs and various TAMU teams), managing HS’s travel reimbursements, managing last minute cancellations/ modifications etc.
For POCs, Department Advisors &/ faculty Events are twice-thrice a week- managing time They volunteer for other such events- being clear
about the expectations of A&I’s programs

+ 4. High Observability Leading To High Trialability
Parents and the Students can interpret the aim of the innovation easily
Emails contain flyers, photos, FB & Twitter links for the people to observe & try the options
Hands-On activities & student project presentations allows students & parents to clearly observe the program’s purpose
Easy access to information encourages trialability

+ Compatibility & Rate of AdoptionNaming the innovation- Naming A&I,
ENGAGE Program
Access & Inclusion: Clear to understand Indicates that the division has something to do
with increasing “diversity”
ENGAGE- Engineering Aggies Gaining Experience Specifies that it’s an Engineering specific program Mentions the purpose- for the students to gain
experience Engage in Engineering!

+Present Scenario The idea/ innovative approach has been
successful
Needs further improvement- with respect to arrangement and long term planning; reducing last minute drop out rate
Comparing the success of programs from last year to present year
Increase in participation by connecting with students and parents directly through social media & not indirectly through HS counselors only
