Participation by engineeringdepartments at partner universities will yield results grounded in a variety of institutionalcontexts.Consequently, the intellectual merit of this proposal lies in its ability to develop a theory todescribe relationships between disciplinary culture and the outcomes of engineering education;this theory can then inform targeted curricular interventions to enhance the innovative andcollaborative abilities of engineering students. This theory would have explanatory power for arange of characteristics of engineering students and programs, from the difficulties students facewhen dealing with unstructured, open-ended design problems, to the

In addition, adequate socioemotional and culturally relevant mentoringseems to play an important role for the positive development of underrepresented students in thiscontext (e.g., first-generation college-going students) [10]. Unfortunately, these studies did notinvestigate the impact of faculty mentoring for transfer students in particular, leaving a gap inknowledge as to whether transfer students would benefit from these additional beneficialoutcomes as well.Apart from faculty mentoring, research also indicates that peer interaction and peer mentoringseems to
