engineering, many of the URM studentsstruggle to complete their degree due to various factors: inadequate academic preparation,insufficient awareness career options, lack of necessary financial, academic, social, and culturalsupport for success, and low levels of self-efficacy.To address these barriers and build capacity for student success, SFSU has partnered with twolocal HSI community colleges, Skyline College and Cañada College. This collaboration involvesdeveloping and implementing several strategies through the Strengthening Student Motivationand Resilience through Research and Advising (S-SMART) project, which is funded by theNational Science Foundation's HSI Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) program.One of the strategies developed
the community collegestudents. Community college students are more likely to leave school without a degree, andresearchers could focus on how in-class active learning use could possibly lead to higher studentretention and improved student outcomes.References[1] T.

B,D, G and K in the low complexity, code L, P and Q in the moderate complexity, and code S,T and V in the high complexity. This shows that 4 activities out of 11 activities in the lowcomplexity can be considered as active learning activities in the new course, which is 36 %out of 100 %. In the moderate complexity, 3 activities out of 7 activities, which is 43 % out of100 %, can be considered as active learning activities. In the high complexity, 3 activities outof 4 activities, which is 75 % out of 100 %, can be considered as active learning activities.Consequently, the percentage increases as the complexity becomes higher.

as the most important sources of informationthough at least two students commented there was not enough information and they did their ownindependent research.We also asked students to comment on what they found to be the biggest challenge(s) during thetransfer process and specifically what would have helped in overcoming those challenges. By farthe most commonly mentioned reason was being unsure which classes would transfer from 2-yearto 4-year colleges, and understanding what the transfer prerequisites were. Some studentsmentioned that they attended multiple 2-year colleges and had greater difficulty figuring out whatclasses would and would not count toward their 4-year degree.A majority of post-transfer students (68%) reported having an
