Strengthening Community College Engineering Transfer ProgramsAbstractBroadening participation in engineering among underrepresented minority students remains a bigchallenge for institutions of higher education. Since a large majority of underrepresentedstudents attend community colleges, engineering transfer programs at these community collegescan play an important role in addressing this challenge. However, for most community collegeengineering programs, developing strategies and programs to increase the number and diversityof students successfully pursuing careers in engineering is especially challenging due to limitedexpertise, shrinking resources and continuing budget crises.This paper is a description of how a small engineering
