to four-year institutions, developmental coursework,continuing education, and community service [8]. Community colleges can play a crucial role inbroadening participation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields,particularly for underrepresented groups, such as women and racially minoritized individuals [9].Additionally, the National Science Foundation, as one example, has recognized that beginningengineering study at a two-year college before transferring to an engineering program at a four-year institution represents an important pathway to increasing access and attainment in engineeringbachelor’s degree programs [10].The vertical transfer pathway is essential for the democratization of engineering bachelor’s
graduation rates. Also, the findings holdthe potential to serve as a benchmark for other MSIs nationwide seeking support and tracking ofBlack transfer students in engineering to promote their educational attainment.IntroductionUpward transfer pathways, which facilitate students' movement from community colleges (CCs)to four-year colleges and universities, are of significant national importance [1]. In science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programs, the upward transfer pathways increaseSTEM graduates and the capacity of the workforce [2]. In particular, these pathways are pivotalfor 1) Broadening participation in engineering, 2) Increasing the number of future engineers, and3) Promoting educational equity and workforce development in the

connectedness and interdependence ofworld cultures and economies. With the Information Age, globalization went into overdrive.Advances in computer and communication technology launched a new global era and redefinedwhat it meant to be “connected” [1]. Over recent years, the engineering field, among others, haswitnessed the power of connectedness as a catalyst for breakthroughs. Often these breakthroughsresult from cultural exchanges - the process of sharing and experiencing ideas, knowledge, andpractices across different cultures [2]. Specific to engineering, the cultural exchanges create amelting pot of ideas and influences from around the world through bringing togetherprofessionals from diverse backgrounds.

fragile, viscous,immobile and rigid if not designed and implemented properly. These are factors that softwareengineers need to take into account while they consider the architecture of the proposed softwaresystem. These factors also make teaching software architecture a difficult endeavor.There are several documented difficulties in teaching software architecture. Experience is thebest way to understand the various nuances involved in real world implementations of softwarearchitecture, due to its abstract nature. Software architecture is also complex: the aspects ofpeople, process and technology that permeate software engineering are important considerationsin software architecture as well.
