The MIE Initiative GoalThe MIE Initiative Goal
• National: To increase the quality and quantity of underrepresented minorities who earn baccalaureate degrees in science, engineering, and mathematics (SEM) and go on to pursue graduate degrees in these fields
• UTEP: To double the number of SEM degrees conferred by 2010
