Objective 1 targets thenumber of community college SEM transfers. Objective 2 focuses on the enhancement ofstudent success. Objective 3 concentrates on improving persistence to degree completion for thepredominantly first generation and Hispanic students of South Texas.

For the first half of the twentieth century, electricalsystems (the term electronics was not in vogue yet!) were usually quite rudimentary by today’sstandards and usually were implemented using the simple, yet venerable vacuum tube. Duringthis era, the electrical components enabled the particular application (see Figure 1) which againwas typically simplistic in nature (at least by today’s standards) and also fixed in its purpose orfunctionality. There was usually a very basic power supply or battery, a limited number ofvacuum tubes (<10) that performed analog signal processing, and a very limited man-machineinterface (MMI). This interface was typically used to adjust very basic

The way forward is to become more open, more experimental and to embrace the unknown. We cannot turn inward, nor can we allow our institutions to become overly centralized and risk averse [1] (p. 8).

Indeed,public two-year institutions in Texas contributed 244,847, or 61.0 percent, to the increase inhigher education enrollment from 2000 to 2009 (1).A cohort study of students entering higher education in Texas in fall 2002 was conducted by theTexas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) to examine the educational pathways ofthese students (2).

. Another goal of the NSF Student Enrollment andEngagement through Connections (SEEC) grant is to increase the diversity ofengineering graduates at ISU. The specific goals of SEEC are to increase thenumber of engineering graduates by 100 per year to obtain a total of about 900per year with approximately 10% from minorities and 20% females12. The key tomeeting these goals is the creation of meaningful connections between ISU andthe state community colleges to support transfer students. This project has focusedon five such connections: 1) a new admission partnership program, 2) coordinatedadvising and activities planning, 3) expansion of learning communities at ISU andstate community colleges, 4) creation of an engineering orientation class at

faculty andadministrators at two-year colleges can gain, use, and share critical knowledge of what works,and does not work, in technician education.Faculty members who generate, apply, and contribute their knowledge of research-in-action andeffective practices give their students, their technical programs, and their colleges a strategic andcompetitive advantage. Knowledge shared with and by peers in the greater community ofpractitioners enables faculty to: 1) broaden their own knowledge base and improve theirprofessional practice; 2) strengthen student outcomes across engineering technology courses andprograms; and 3) develop more competitive grant proposals built on an existing body ofknowledge.

In consideringpotential psychological factors that might impact rate of transfer, self-efficacy has beenidentified as an important concept when considering success and retention amongunderrepresented groups in STEM fields. Self-efficacy has been conceptualized as four domains:mastery experience, vicarious experience, social persuasion, and physiological reaction [2, 3, 4].Individuals receive information from each domain either through
