TechnologyAbstractThis paper introduces two scholarship projects funded by the National Science Foundation thatfocus on students who transfer at the 3rd year level from 2-year schools to the engineering andengineering technology BS programs at our university. The objectives of both the projects are:(i) to expand and diversify the engineering/technology workforce of the future, (ii) to developlinkages and articulations with 2-year schools and their S-STEM programs, (iii) to provideincreased career opportunities and job placement rates through mandatory paid co-opexperiences, and (iv) to serve as a model for other universities to provide vertical transferstudents access to the baccalaureate degree.The Transfer Pipeline (TiPi) project awarded 25 new scholarships
