Society for Engineering Education, 2013 A Descriptive Study of Engineering Transfer Students at Four Institutions: Comparing Lateral and Vertical Transfer PathwaysStudents who attend two or more institutions during their post-secondary educational careers, ortransfer students, make up just over one-third of all American students.1 Additionally, 25% ofstudents who transfer will do so more than once.1 Reasons for transfer vary widely, but usuallyinclude academic, financial, or institutional factors.2 Moreover, reasons for transferring may bedifferent from reasons for discontinuing coursework until a later date (stopping-out), as thosewho stop-out normally identify more personal reasons for leaving an institution compared to theacademic

Thesecond of the three projects is intended to simulate an authentic engineering design processbased on service learning criteria. The third project is a popsicle sticks bridge contest.The Introduction to Engineering course has been meeting for two hours each week, andconventional wisdom recommends that a student should devote from two to four hoursoutside the classroom for every hour spent in the class. Engineering courses typically requirea student commitment in the upper half of the range. Based on this principle, and

summary, our research demonstrates a number of differences in pre-college characteristicsbetween students beginning their postsecondary educations in community colleges, students whosuccessfully transferred to four-year institutions, and students who began in a four-yearengineering program. Though based on cross-sectional data, these findings allow us to considerhow pre-college characteristics and experiences may influence the academic pathways ofstudents interested in engineering majors and careers, and provide strong bases for hypothesesabout the impact of pre-college factors on the shape of the engineering workforce.Our findings suggest a unique set of pre-college characteristics are associated with a unique setof barriers to completing a

It must, however, be clear, accurate and actionable.Fortunately, some of these features of our systems world are now being addressed inorder to rebalance academic technical programs.
