In addition to their research projects, TTE participants are trained in laboratorysafety, research protocol, and professional ethics; they partake in academic and professionaldevelopment seminars to prepare for a baccalaureate degrees and careers in science andengineering. Approximately 94% of the past TTE students eligible to transfer to a 4-yearinstitution were admitted to and are now enrolled various universities across the nation andmajoring in science or engineering in comparison to a 39% statewide average1. This paper willfocus on the impact of the program on the interest in pursuing an

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
