students 34. Theresearchers found that social support and having a better sense-of-belonging yielded higher ratesof persistence in STEM students.Commuter students. Living off-campus can have implications in student success 35. Off-campushousing requires students to keep track of additional expenses, such as rent, groceries, and utilitybills. This living situation can also make access to student services more challenging becausestudents must travel to campus to access the services. The commuter student demographic beganto expand in the 1960’s, and has yet to see a decline 36. Access to course materials for commuterstudents have improved since the inception of learning management systems (e.g., BlackBoard)that provide electronic access to course

Program was originally founded through the Center for EnergyEfficient Electronics Science, and has since branched to multiple disciplines includedbiotechnology and robotics. TTE REU was designed as an intervention for students so thatthey would have an opportunity to build their confidence and knowledge in science andengineering with the goal that this intervention would lead to more students transferring to abachelor program. As discussed by S. Artis4, TTE REU brings students from communitycolleges around the state of California to the University of California, Berkeley to complete a9 week summer research internship. The first week of the internship has the students goingthrough a “laboratory bootcamp” where the students learn lab safety, ethics

part of the Florida Department of Education, Florida has created as Statewide CourseNumbering System (SCNS). This system articulates a common courses numbering system to beused by the colleges and universities in the state. The SCNS specifies the level at which thecourse is taught and the topics covered in each course with the same number. Courses with thesame number are guaranteed to transfer to institutions offering a course with the same coursenumber. According to their website, the SCNS was created in the 1960’s and “is a keycomponent of Florida's K-20 seamless system of articulation. The system provides a database ofpost-secondary courses at public vocational-technical centers, community colleges, universities,and participating nonpublic

system anddepending upon its severity or frequency of occurrence an annunciator on the dash will light up(the infamous “Check Engine Light”) to warn the operator. The code(s) will be available on theOBD interface for diagnosing and servicing. The cure for the problem is for the repair technicianto replace the sensor or use the code or codes to troubleshoot the problem and narrow the causeof the problem down to a specific part or system and to replace that part or system (i.e. swap outthe bad part(s)). Unfortunately, if the problem is intermittent or possibly caused by a faultywiring harness or by an evolving mechanical defect, solving the mystery of what is causing theproblem can become extremely vexing. To determine the cause of various

differencesbetween transfer student experiences within the same institution, particularly between verticaland lateral transfer students. These results indicate that institutions cannot view all transferstudents as having the same experience or requiring the same support. Fostering a welcomingculture, helping students build networks, providing access to institutional agents, and ensuringeasily accessible information are all ways that institutions can begin to improve the transferexperience.AcknowledgementsThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.1428502.
