• Provide eMINTS certification for teacher education candidates. Assessments include teacher candidates’ success rates in university courses, on state licensure examinations, and in the job market.
• Provide computer science students with hands-on experiences in computer refurbishment. Evaluation measures include students’ successful completion of coursework, quality of the refurbished computers, and marketability of graduates.
• Assist P-12 schools in the establishment of computer labs by donating refurbished computers. Indicators of success include the number of donated computers, the number of receiving schools, and the number of P-12 teachers and students impacted by the donations.

• All graduates of Lincoln University teacher preparation programs are certified in the eMINTS program, and 100% of graduates who want to teach are offered teaching positions. 
• Prospective employers report that the value-added component for computer science majors gives them an advantage in the job market.
• To date, computers have been placed in the following mid-Missouri schools: California Elementary School, 24 units; New Bloomfield Elementary, 12 units; Russellville Elementary School, 12 units; and Osage County R1 (Chamois), 15 units.

As the project grew, one challenge was finding appropriate space for the computer science students to work on the computers. The solution was to locate the workspace in the Lincoln University Center for Innovative Instruction. Appropriate renovations were completed at the beginning of the spring 2011 semester.

Since most of the schools in the mid-Missouri area are in need of additional equipment, another challenge has been selecting the schools to receive the computers. The eMINTS director collaborates with school and district administrators to prioritize needs and to ensure distribution to a variety of geographical locations.
