The three state engineering schools met and exceeded the goal of graduating 1,365 students by the year 2021, doing so for the first time in 2017. Current statusĪs of 2021, the Kansas legislature has recognized the success of the UEIA program by passing a 10-year renewal to begin July 2022. It also has plans to use a portion of the funds to build Engineering Hall, which will increase facility size by more than 100,000 square feet, as well as add to the number of faculty serving students. To meet this goal, the college will implement enhanced recruitment and retention programs to increase the size of the student body and support student success. Ice College of Engineering will add more than 160 new graduates from its programs. The colleges must then provide a one-to-one match from non-state sources, or $3.5 million per year for each school, for a total match of $105 million over the 10 years in support of engineering education programs. Each school receives $3.5 million per year. The UEIA bill passed on May 25, 2011, providing $105 million to the three schools over the 10-year period of the act. The initiative directed the secretary of the Kansas Department of Commerce to work with the Kansas Board of Regents, as well as Kansas State University, the University of Kansas and Wichita State University, to develop a plan to target engineering education efforts to fuel economic growth and business success in Kansas. Ice College of Engineering was 587 graduates per year by 2021. The University Engineering Initiative Act, or UEIA, was created to increase the number of engineering graduates in the state of Kansas to 1,365 per year by 2021.
