American c Society for Engineering Education, 2020Transfer Students in Undergraduate EngineeringAbstract:Transfer students to four-year colleges often face considerable obstacles to college success,including a lack of adequate socialization to the new setting, academic preparation in terms ofpractical knowledge, and college climate norms. In addition, they may find it difficult tointegrate into the informal social groups that
studyingengineering remain relatively stable throughout college; so understanding what motivates studentsto pursue an engineering career is important for developing strategies to engage students early intheir community college pathway [16], [17].Our study suggests that men and women have similar motivations for studying engineering. Surveyrespondents indicated that they were most motivated by intrinsic behavioral and psychologicalfactors, such as a desire to build things. Students also reported a high degree of social goodmotivation (i.e. a belief that technology and engineering skills contribute to the good of society).Unlike previous research using the same survey instrument with undergraduate students at four-year universities [16], women in the current

technology the engineering schools must be focused on providing a strongeducation to students in technical fields. Our college takes this issue seriously by providingstudents with a very strong foundation of engineering education that allows them to transfersuccessfully to any four-year engineering programs. Engineering students in an academic setting do not have the environment, theresponsibilities, the demands, or the interactions with other members of an engineering team, nordo they face the real-life situations and challenges that a practicing engineer faces every day.Therefore, our program decided that our mentorship initiative must have as many professionalengineering aspects as academic ones.

address concerns about academic preparationand connecting students to faculty, on-campus resources, and other students.IntroductionA key to maximizing America’s future success is broader access to higher education. One of tenrecommendations from the National Research Council is to “secure for the United States the fullbenefits of education for all Americans, including women and underrepresented minorities, inscience, mathematics, engineering, and technology” [1]. This goal is a central tenet of theUniversity of California (UC) system, which was recently recognized by The New York Timesas an “upward-mobility machine” [2].
