the Mechanical Engineering Program.Senior Design has a prerequisite of most other senior-level classes, and a hold is placed on thatclass that can only be lifted once the Intent to Graduate form has been signed, and theDepartment has certified that a student is in their final semester of classes. For simplicity’s sake,then, students enrolled in Introduction to Engineering are referred to as freshmen, those enrolledin Introduction to Computational Methods are referred to as juniors, and those in Senior Designare called seniors.The nineteen-question survey administered contains the 8-question Grit-S survey [4], theparticipant’s gender, age, name, whether they are a first generation college student, racialidentity, marital status, the number of

community college experience did notadequately prepare them for the rigor and pace in the engineering curriculum.Some of these issues can be addressed by better advising. Hence we have identified a specificadvisor in each department to deal with all the transfer students; these advisors are also betterequipped to handle personal/family problems. Other issues are addressed in the successseminar so transfer students are more aware of university procedures and resources. We haverecommended that all transfer students be offered the opportunity to take the seminar.We are also working with area community colleges to address these issues. These schools canprovide orientation session(s) for students transferring to 4-year schools. Community collegefaculty
