The MIE Phase III project will fulfill the plan which builds upon Phase I and II accomplishments, raises UMET to the next level of capability, and completes the process of institutionalizing and disseminating its model and best practices to other institutions. UMET will continue strengthening its academic program curriculum and disseminating the MIE curriculum development process to SUAGM SEM departments using institutional resources. UMET will continue hiring additional faculty with advanced degrees in selected areas, enhancing faculty content knowledge in SEM areas, delivering improved student-centered instructional programs, stimulating faculty research capability, developing an improved infrastructure for SEM research and educational improvement grants, improving its ability to assess faculty performance, and giving financial support to faculty completing doctoral degrees. UMET will continue to improve the student support/research infrastructure by involving undergraduate students in research, providing pre-college students with a greater appreciation of the benefits of careers in SEM and the academic preparation needed to pursue SEM studies, conducting a coordinated set of activities to attract better prepared students, and providing sufficient academic support services to retain them through graduation. UMET will construct a new science laboratory building and enhance the computer networking capability for all SEM faculties in SUAGM. UMET will build on the comprehensive foundation established during Phase I and II of the MIE Project by completing the institutionalization. At the conclusion of Phase III, UMET will have an institutionalization process in place that guarantees full funding for each of the components initiated by MIE. These include: the academic program, curriculum development and evaluation, faculty development and support, Student Support Center, pre-college programs, scholarships, student internships and undergraduate research, and laboratory upgrades and maintenance. UMET will have the capability to disseminate the NSF/UMET/MIE model. The project will be managed under the direction of Dr. Arratia, who reports to the Chancellor of UMET.

MIE第三阶段项目将完成该计划，该计划建立在第一阶段和第二阶段成就的基础上，将乌梅特大学提高到新的能力水平，并完成将其模式和最佳做法制度化并向其他机构传播的进程。UMET将继续加强其学术计划课程，并利用机构资源将MIE课程开发过程传播给SUAGM SEM部门。UMET将继续招聘更多在选定领域拥有高级学位的教师，增强教师在SM领域的教学知识，提供改进的以学生为中心的教学计划，刺激教师的研究能力，为SM研究和教育改进拨款发展改进的基础设施，提高其评估教师绩效的能力，并为完成博士学位的教师提供财政支持。UMET将继续改善学生支持/研究基础设施，让本科生参与研究，让大学预科学生更多地认识到在EM工作的好处和进行SM研究所需的学术准备，开展一系列协调的活动以吸引准备更好的学生，并提供足够的学术支持服务以留住他们直到毕业。UMET将建造一座新的科学实验室大楼，并增强SUAGM所有扫描电子显微镜系的计算机联网能力。通过完成制度化，乌梅特大学将在MIE项目第一阶段和第二阶段建立的全面基础上再接再厉。在第三阶段结束时，伊斯兰会议组织将建立一个制度化进程，以保证为该部发起的每一个组成部分提供全额资金。这些包括：学术计划、课程开发和评估、教师发展和支持、学生支持中心、大学预科计划、奖学金、学生实习和本科生研究，以及实验室升级和维护。UMET将有能力传播NSF/UMET/MIE模式。该项目将在阿雷蒂亚博士的指导下进行管理，阿雷蒂亚博士向乌梅特总理汇报工作。
