workers for employment in STEM fields2.”Community colleges are also endorsed for their ability to bring students fromunder-represented groups to the educational pathway. “Community colleges arethe path of choice for many underrepresented groups in engineering3.” Thisincludes women, minorities, older adults, non-native speaking and lower-incomegroups. Due to their accessibility and affordability, students are turning to two-year colleges as a less expensive pathway to bachelor‟s degree attainment.“Community colleges disproportionately enroll students from groups that havebeen underrepresented in higher education and that are poised to growdramatically in the next two decades4.” “Various organizations, including theCollege Board have issued

well as a native student in their studies. Some argued that there was no differencebetween the two groups of students, but did not back it up with data or citations. Hill looked atdata of studies on this subject from 1928 to 1964 and found that the results were consistent inshowing a drop in grade point average after transfer. Hill asked guidance counselors in highschools to inform their students that this transfer shock occurred and that a s a transfer student itwould probably take longer to graduate than native students at a four year school.As more students began to attend community colleges in the 1980s, more studies occurred ontransfer shock. During this time the studies showed that transfer students usually earned GPAs.20 to .30 points

This testbed isnon-portable and requires the college students to remotely connect into the environment to setupand configure their servers and services for approximately one month prior to the competition.Then, the students and their faculty member(s) travel to Ames to compete for two days defendingtheir network from attacks. The CCCDC was created to challenge the community collegestudents to solidify concepts learned in their classroom and laboratory exercises, as well as keepthem interested and engaged in their chosen career track.10 The fourth annual CCCDC was heldDecember 3 & 4, 2010.

Thus, team-at-a-distance teaching supports experiential learning techniques and moreeffectively incorporates the knowledge and life lessons provided by the non-traditional studentsinto the content of the course.In a distance broadcast learning environment, the team-at-a-distance approach further supports alearner centered environment and diffuses impressions of hierarchy that can arise between“originating” and “receiving” or “satellite” sites. With an instructor(s) present at eachparticipating site (each regional campus), all sites enjoy a perception of equal importance andstature, and a mutual sense of support. Periodically throughout the course, all sites, at times, willbe originating and, at other
