Abstract
The Vertical Education Enhancement (VEE) model is developed to enhance Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education and research to meet new challenges in a dynamic global environment. It integrates the vertical levels of career progression that is built on 1) a curriculum that adapts to the needs of present and emerging markets, 2) community outreach and collaborations/partnerships with industry and government sectors, and 3) research and grants. The model uses periodic assessment and continuous improvement process to ensure success. Recent results include 80% of graduates taking jobs in STEM fields, full accreditation of two engineering technology programs, and increased funding.
