construct validity (i.e., whether items/response options werecomprehendible and appropriate), the instrument was pilot tested prior to sending it to sampleinstitutions.Data for this paper were collected via three different survey instruments: 1) a survey of pre-engineering students enrolled in community colleges; 2) a survey of currently enrolledengineering seniors and “super-seniors” in their fifth year of undergraduate study; and 3) asurvey of engineering graduates surveyed three years after earning their bachelor’s degrees.This analysis focuses on students’ self-reported pre-college characteristics, which tend to havehigh validity because they are less susceptible to differences in survey question interpretationthan other kinds of self-report

highlights the Texas A&M Engineering Academies co-enrollment partnershipsbetween two-year institutions in the state of Texas and the Texas A&M University – CollegeStation College of Engineering (CoE). Students earn engineering course credits from the CoEbeginning with the first semester that they are admitted to the program. This unique co-enrollment model allows students to remain close to home, earning measurable progress towardscompleting a bachelor’s degree while simultaneously completing an associate’s degree.Programs are imbedded in the partnerships to help students develop an institutional andprofessional identity and adapt to the academic and social environment of Texas A&MUniversity.

training that uses an entrepreneur- ship model to teach participants to achieve scalable sustainability in NSF-funded projects. Past projects include evaluation of an NSF-funded project to improve advising for engineering students at a major state university in California. Ms. Schiorring is the author and co-author of numerous papers and served as project lead on a major study of transfer in engineering. Ms. Schiorring holds a Master’s Degree in Public Policy from Harvard University. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Developing Resources to Support Comprehensive Transfer Engineering Curricula: Assessing the Effectiveness of a Hybrid
