programming for transferstudents in engineering.A reason community college transfers are so important is the need for moregraduates in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. A logicalplace to look for these STEM graduates is to the community colleges. In fact theneed for more STEM graduates is considered vital to the future of America by theUS Department of Labor. “Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)fields have become increasingly central to U.S. economic competitiveness andgrowth, and long-term strategies to maintain and increase living standards, andpromote opportunity will require coordinated efforts among public, private, andnot-for-profit entities to promote innovation and to prepare an adequate supply ofqualified

Scholars define STEM from different perspectives, fordifferent purposes and by using different (or no) coding schemes. Broadly, STEM is classified byeither education or occupational definitions. Through meta-analysis, we created a standardizeddefinition of STEM that combines education and occupational definitions with NSOPF codes5.Educational DefinitionsMost scholars focus on STEM as an academic discipline. Some use the broad categories ofScience, Technology, Engineering and Math, while others define specific CIP codes. Despite thegranularity of the definition, some disciplines are consistently defined as STEM. Using simplefrequency
