EngineeringAbstractThe Texas A&M Engineering Academy program is the first engineeringtransition program of its kind in the United States. Unlike traditional transferprograms, students admitted into an Academy are admitted to Texas A&M andbegin earning Texas A&M transcribed credit from semester one. Students enrollin math, science and core curriculum courses through the partner college andenroll in Texas A&M engineering courses taught by Texas A&M faculty face-to-face on the partner college campus. Students spend one to two years co-enrolled at the community college before transitioning full time to Texas A&MUniversity in College Station to finish their bachelor’s degree. Academystudents save on average $4,100 per semester on tuition fees

. Although both RC collaboratives are members of theNational Center for Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning network [CIRTL, 2023],only the North and East Texas collaborative utilizes online professional development resourcesto offer graduate students a professional development curriculum with emphasis on evidence-based effective teaching. In contrast, the collaborative in West Texas refined its own set ofevidence-based professional development webinars and related resources to emphasize inclusiveteaching and developed an extensive resource bank for its fellows. RC fellows in North and EastTexas have the opportunity to teach one module of a course at a community college under theguidance of their mentor. Subsequently, the fellows discuss
