addition, ASU transfer students are available at the METS Center for mentoringthe new transfer students either informally or formally.Many of the communities across the state of Arizona have a high proportion of Hispanics and arein or near Native American reservations, therefore providing the CCs with the opportunity torecruit from a diverse community of students. The project includes four steps. First, high schoolstudents and their parents are invited to engineering events at the local community college, co-sponsored by ASU. Secondly, after the community colleges’ recruitment efforts, the engineeringstudents need to be encouraged and hear again about engineering from a career standpoint atevents and in classrooms on their CC campuses.

blogs (unmatched in the Internet); morethan 100,000 subscribers receive the CR4 Daily Digest, a newsletter-type e-mailcommunication, and over 25,000 registered users. All these numbers make CR4 one ofthe most active technical communities on the web, where engineering educators, students,the technically savvy, and the curious general public meet every day to share knowledge,to discuss, and to learn. With CR4, engineering groups with diverse interests atphysically separate locations can become a close community using online collaborationtools. The author uses CR4, as well as Globalspec, in the classroom for assignments,exploration, research and projects. My students visit these sites regularly as part of theirreal world education.

Education, 2009 ET2 Program for Transfer Students from Two-Year CollegesAbstractThis paper describes the Engineering and Technology Transfer Scholars’ (ET2) program recentlyfunded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) that focuses on students who transfer at the 3rdyear level from 2-year schools to our university. With scholarship support from NSF, we aim torecruit, retain and graduate 25 additional transfer scholars per year in our engineering andengineering technology (EET) BS degree programs. The NSF scholarship is in addition to grantsand aid awarded by our university. In support of this project, the university will contribute$50,000 to ensure that ET2 scholars have continuing financial support after the grant expires andhelp them

This project has been supported by grants from the Department ofEducation (MSEIP P120A050080) and Alamo Community College District Foundation.Brief History of the ProgramThe original version of the EDGE program was intended to serve well-prepared high schoolstudents in the 10th and 11th grades who would have participated in the San Antonio Pre-freshman Engineering Program (PREP) 2. EDGE was designed to introduce them to collegelevel course work as a learning community and provide activities to help them developindependent learning and teamwork skills with the goal of increasing their likelihood of earninga college degree in engineering, science, math, or other related field.
