Because of low performanceon the Concept Assessment Tool for Statics (CATS) (around 29% compared to the results ofother institutions, which ranged from 30-70%), a Spanish version of CATS (CATS-S) wasdeveloped. Ten Hispanic senior civil engineering students were recruited and divided into twogroups, control and experimental. The control group was assigned the original CATS version

Search terms included: engineering, transfer student(s), and pathways. The search yielded more than 180 articles relevant to the research topic. In addition,reference sections from journal articles on engineering transfer students were also reviewed toidentify additional articles. To narrow the scope, articles in this literature review met thefollowing criteria: 1.) peer reviewed article; 2.) published between 2000 and 2014; 3.) addressedexperiences and/or educational outcomes of engineering transfer students.Findings Although there is limited research on pathways
