in S-STEM Engineering Technology Scholars (ETS) program, may face challengesin academic and career advancement. These challenges often stemmed from feelings ofunpreparedness, lower self-efficacy, and a reduced feeling of inclusion, compared to their peersin the same honors program. However, little research has integrated both objective andsubjective approaches, to assess and compare academic success between transfer students in theETS program and their traditional engineering transfer counterparts.This study focuses on examining whether participation in the Engineering Technology Scholars– IMProving Retention and Student Success (ETS-IMPRESS) program, designed to supportunderrepresented students in engineering technology (ET) fields

everyone on the team. When asked whether the practice of engineering was whatthey envisioned that it would be, many said that the amount of teamwork involved was differentthan they expected. Undergraduate experiences made them believe that they alone would workon a process or project, but they said that the practice is much more interdependent than theyexpected.DiscussionThe statistically significant areas where returners had higher levels of self-efficacy (Synthesizeinformation to reach conclusions that are supported by data and needs; Identify the safetyconcerns that pertain to a project that you are working on; Analyze the tradeoffs betweenalternative design approaches and select the one that is best for your project) all imply theapplication
