Theseminar also focuses on social involvement and interpersonal skills. Students are introducedto careers and research/internship opportunities and to job placement skills so they are wellprepared to enter the technical workforce. Page 23.1266.2Since an important factor in student retention is the sense of community that a studentdevelops, the USA-LINK program incorporates a community-building model for theparticipants. 2 The success seminar facilitates the formation of student groups. In addition,each USA-LINK student is

that "Participation in high-impact practices has been shown to improve both learningand persistence for all students, but especially for the historically underserved."8 This study alsoindicates that participation in more than one high-impact practice increases the benefits for thesestudents. Other specific strategies that have been proven effective in improving student outcomesfor minority students include mentoring programs,9,10 introducing context in introductorycourses,11 alternative instructional strategies,12 summer programs,13,14 and peer mentoring.15In 2008, to increase the participation, retention, and success of underrepresented, underpreparedand educationally disadvantaged students interested in pursuing careers in STEM fields

theprogram.The mechanical engineering program at the University of Wisconsin - Platteville (UW -Platteville) has a collaborative program relationship with thirteen two-year Colleges that allowsany student who has achieved an associate’s degree to stay at their two-year Colleges campuswhile obtaining a mechanical engineering BS degree from UW - Platteville. This programincreases educational access to nontraditional, place-bound students across the state.Preliminary results of a longitudinal study involving grit in nontraditional and traditionalstudents are presented. While the longitudinal study involves following students throughouttheir academic career, this study compares grit scores between groups of students at differentacademic stages. Traditional

Society for Engineering Education, 2013 A Descriptive Study of Engineering Transfer Students at Four Institutions: Comparing Lateral and Vertical Transfer PathwaysStudents who attend two or more institutions during their post-secondary educational careers, ortransfer students, make up just over one-third of all American students.1 Additionally, 25% ofstudents who transfer will do so more than once.1 Reasons for transfer vary widely, but usuallyinclude academic, financial, or institutional factors.2 Moreover, reasons for transferring may bedifferent from reasons for discontinuing coursework until a later date (stopping-out), as thosewho stop-out normally identify more personal reasons for leaving an institution compared to theacademic

students use their social, cultural and transfer student capital, in the context of institutionalefforts, to transfer from one institution to another.The orientation process is important to students at any level in their educational careers, but isespecially important for transfer students who generally enter the receiving institution at anatypical time compared to the native students. As Grites12 contends “transfer students need anorientation to the culture of the new campus, the academic and social impacts of the newenvironment, the academic advising structure, and the support services, activities, andorganizations that are available to them” (p. 126). However, more energy and resources aredevoted to organizing and delivering orientation
