to avoid delays in degree completion.Causes of Credit Loss in Engineering Transfer PathwaysCredit loss occurs when courses completed at a sending institution fail to transfer or apply todegree requirements at a receiving institution. This inefficiency results in extended time todegree, increased costs, and heightened barriers to graduation. Key contributors include: highlysequential curricula in engineering programs, and misaligned student perceptions withinstitutional policy. Missing a prerequisite course can delay graduation by multiple semesters(Smith et al., 2021; Johnson & Smith, 2022). Giani et al. (2024) highlight that the likelihood ofcredit loss varies significantly across course characteristics and majors, emphasizing the need
engineering drew on familial capital to navigate unwelcomingengineering environments [Smith, 2022]. Mexican-American and Latinx learners, in otherstudies, regularly drew on their strengths in cultivating familismo and other cultural assets intheir progression through engineering programs [Rodriguez et al., 2023; Rincón & Rodriguez,2021; Wilson-Lopez et al., 2016]. While many of these studies employ qualitative and mixedmethods, several have used quantitative methods [Denton et al., 2020]. In a systematic review ofCCW in STEM education research, Denton et al. (2020) identified two studies that utilize asolely quantitative approach. The first quantitative study explored the relationship between thecapitals of CCW and the self-efficacy of
that its use and transfer into the classrooms are low (Berger et al., 2022; Laursen,2019; Stains et al., 2018).Recent developments in theories of change around faculty development programs point to theneed to adopt research-based instructional strategies (Henderson et al., 2011; Henderson &Darcy, 2007, 2009) in several key areas: (a) the linkage between learning theories and specifiedin-class activities (Borda et al., 2020; Manduca et al., 2017); (b) alignment between specificresearch-based instructional strategies to culture and context (Lund & Stains, 2015); (c) facultycommunities of practice (Borda et al., 2020; Lave & Wegner, 1991); and (d) faculty beliefs andidentity (Bouwma-Gearhart, 2012; Brownell & Tanner, 2012).

theoretical framework [24], [38],local language as the conduit for epistemological training [25], and even served as the origin forapprenticeship as the model of education [39], [40]. Another solution that has been suggested inthe literature is a focus on culturally relevant pedagogy.A Conceptual Framework for Culturally Relevant Engineering EducationOriginally developed through grounded theory from the practices of successful teachers of AfricanAmerican students in the US, culturally relevant pedagogy has become more than just a buzzwordin many American classrooms. Between 1995 and 2022, more than 200 articles have discussedCRP use and application in the US [41], in other parts of the world [42], [43], within STEM classes[44]–[46], in teaching

marginalized students to do “menial tasks” (Silbey, 2016) blocking them fromsubstantially contributing to the technical aspects of the project (Cardador & Caza, 2018). In collaborativesettings, the confluence of identities which shape an individual impacts how the individual is perceived byothers (Ro & Loya, 2015). If not carefully structured and cared for by a competent faculty member, thisresults in a disparate team experience (Mallette, 2022). The challenge then becomes on the faculty todefine and deliver an authentic experience that values diverse team settings and leads to impactful andmeaningful experience for all students (Borrego et al., 2013).Too often marginalized individuals are told to talk it out or communicate more without

According to the AmericanAssociation of Community Colleges report (AACC, 2023), 1,038 community colleges in theUnited States serve 10.2 million students (IPEDS, 2021), constituting 38% of all U.S.undergraduates and 30% of all first-generation college students. From 2008 to 2017, 52% of the14.8 million students who obtained a bachelor’s degree attended a community college, with 41%of those graduates majoring in engineering at the community college level (NCSES, 2020).While community college enrollments have rebounded post-COVID-19, four-year institutions,except for suburban campuses, lag behind in enrollments (NSCRC, 2023).

While there is not a single widely accepted definition of convergence, there are somegeneral aspects noted by the NSF including: socially relevant, multidisciplinary, complex, andnot being adequately addressed by current methods and practices. Convergent problems requireexisting disciplines to collaborate to create new knowledge, skills, and approaches in order to beappropriately addressed. We believe
