o MDC is responsive to local educational needs and maintains its primary mission by offering high quality, affordable education and training opportunities through the Associate in
Arts degree, Associate in Science degrees, Advanced Technical Certificates, College Credit Certificates, Career Technical Education Certificates, baccalaureate degrees,
Certificates of Professional Preparation, and Continuing Education (non-credit instruction) on eight campuses and several outreach centers in Miami-Dade County, FL.
In response to Governor Rick Scott’s challenge to provide access to affordable, high-quality education and job training for all Floridians, as of Spring 2014, MDC was one of
nine (9) FSC institutions reporting implementation of the $10,000 Baccalaureate degree, with 66 students enrolled Fall 2013.

disciplines) (n=11,959), excluding predominately on-line institutions.
o Fall 2013 enrollment data indicate:
94.9% (n=89,031) of MDC credit-seeking students were enrolled in an AA, AS, CCC, or CTE degree/certificate program, which confirms that MDC meets its responsibility
for awarding associate level and career programs and responds to community needs for postsecondary academic and career education as prescribed in 1004.65(5) FS.
5.1% (n=4,780) of MDC baccalaureate degree-seeking students were enrolled in a baccalaureate program.

o In regard to developmental education, MDC is in compliance with F.S. 1008.02 - Developmental Education and has begun implementation of modularized instruction, compressed
course structures, and contextualized developmental instruction related to meta-majors, which is a collection of programs of study or academic discipline groupings that share
common foundational skills.
2013-2014 Annual Baccalaureate Performance Accountability Report Page 7 of 32
o MDC complies with all provisions of the Statewide Articulation Agreement which relate to 2-year and 4-year public degree-granting institutions as adopted by the State Board of
Education pursuant to 1007.23 FS by ensuring that associate level programs are designed to articulate into upper division baccalaureate programs and meet requirements as

secondary school students aged 14 – 18. Participants have the opportunity to learn basic principles of crime scene analysis and electronics using Arduino and LabView software.
STEM Ladder collaborates with other programs, such as STEM TRAC, and FCCAgE (sponsored by US Department of Agriculture) which offer scientific research opportunities
and a Science Symposium at the college and the best research projects undertaken by MDC students are viewed and shared with the community. Many STEM students receive
prizes, scholarships, and other rewards for their work and contributions in the field.
o The School of Science is constantly reaching out to local schools and our community to promote STEM and career pathways in the science fields that help meet societal needs.
Through innovative outreach activities, STEM experts offer early career advisement to interested high school students using established email, social media, and regular
workshops and activities. Collaborative relationships with the science departments in our feeder schools have forged ongoing relationships, linkages, and professional
development in STEM fields for MDCPS teachers further establishing the relationship among faculty across both institutions.

The CAPSTONE PROJECT (MAN 4900) is an intensive, active
learning initiative in which students prepare a business plan,
including a substantial written report, and present their thesis to a
panel of judges. Two (2) MDC students took their experience one
step further, by winning first place in the Small Business
Management competition at the Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) national
leadership conference, along with a $500 prize.
The MANAGEMENT INTERNSHIP class (MAN 4941)
continues to be an invaluable experience for our students. This
year several students interned with Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small
Businesses, a $500 million initiative to help small businesses in
the United States create jobs and economic growth.
The School of Business has agreements with St. Thomas
University, Nova University and Florida International University
for discounts and/or scholarships for our baccalaureate graduates.
26% of graduating students report that they will be receiving a
promotion upon receiving their baccalaureate degree.
The Let’s Talk Business Speakers Series featured over 50 lecturers, notably
Mr. Todd Romer, Founder and CEO of Your Money Your Life who
presented the 5 Simple Steps to Achieve Financial Health and Wealth; Dr.
Bradley Schiller, a well-known national economist who presented The Slow
Economic Recovery; and Mr. Andy Habermacher, international speaker on
Neuroscience in Business, who presented Leading 100 Billion Neurons: A
Journey Through the Brain of Business Leaders.
The First Annual School of Business Alumni Breakfast was held for
baccalaureate alumni. Close to sixty alumni attended the event which featured
guest speaker Manny Garcia-Tuńon, a Miami Dade College alumnus, who
presented The Importance of Networking.
BAS Training workshops were held for all full-time and part-time faculty to
teach faculty to formulate problem-based assessment activities, design
applied learning lesson plans in which different learning styles are addressed,
and develop upper-division course syllabi that reflect principles of applied
learning.
Graduate School Fairs were held on multiple campuses to expose students
to graduate degrees in business and to inform them of existing articulation
agreements with local institutions.
BS – EET
Senior Design I and II were completed this year and three projects
were presented to the Engineering Industry Advisory Board:
o A fully programmable automated inventory management
shelf that keeps track of how many items remain in stock
based upon weight sensors built by the students. It also has
web integration to display results online.
o A modified car that disables a driver’s ability to send texts
while the vehicle is in operation. It integrates into the car’s
Bluetooth and reads incoming text messages, enabling the
driver to focus on driving.
o A home automation system that is voice controlled to assist
individuals with physical limitations.
BS students competed in the IEEE Southeastern Conference
Robotics competition where they competed against 45+
universities in the southeast. Our students came in 2nd in Florida
and 7th overall. Moreover they had the 2nd best single
performance overall.
Curriculum focuses on innovation in hardware/software co-design and
engineering.
The yearly Innovation Roundtable was held during National Engineers Week
and provided the opportunity for students to interact with local professionals
and entrepreneurs in the technology/engineering space.
Senior Design Capstones1 and 2 integrate all skills that students have learned
during the program, provide real world project experiences by requiring
students to initiate an idea, solve the problems involved in developing their
projects, and work in teams. The final presentations allow graduates to
interact with industry partners and prospective employers. Students have been
hired as a result of this interaction.
A graduate reported that he was hired into a full-time engineering position as
a direct result of attaining the BS-EET degree
