in project management[24, 25]. However, does appealing to similar interests account for the high occurrence ofincoming Computer Science or Chemical Engineering transfers? ConclusionThis work is not intended to explain why students transfer between degree programs in the waysthat they do. Rather, this enhances the understanding of where students are coming from andgoing to when the transfers occur. Without this knowledge, it can be difficult to appropriatelysupport students who find themselves in a degree program they do not enjoy, for one reason oranother. By knowing what common transfer paths are, educators can guide their students to makeinformed decisions in their educational journeys. This

students to industry. Exposing students to industry in early stages of their academictrajectory allows them to apply theoretical knowledge to real engineering projects orproblems [30].Engineering students in our department must engage in three mandatory summer internshipsat three different employment levels. The first internship leads the student to understand howan enterprise works at the operations level. Interns at this level engage in physical work, suchas working in a production line. The second internship allows the student to understand theenterprise from an intermediate job level. Students are assigned ‘desk jobs’ and work withessential data. The third internship is at the professional level and allows students toexperience working and

assembly process for balance and flow. In a final round they do a design-for-manufacturing exercise to create a new, more buildable design, and use pull, kitting, andkanban tools to create a lean manufacturing system that can typically make five times as manyairplanes as the start state with basically the same resources.The product development simulation involves 7 students taking the roles of project management,design, analysis, systems engineering and verification and testing. They process several differentkinds of paper jobs that have different paths through the system. They perform abstract tasks,attaching labeling dots to the paper “jobs,” with time controlled by sand timers and success orfailure determined by dice. Failure can create rework
