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

The curriculum and project themes for each year build uponeach other for a comprehensive experience of the challenges and opportunities involvedwith space exploration. Concepts addressed by the effort include the development ofrockets, robotics, space construction and space architecture for habitation in Earth’sorbit and within lunar lava tube caves on the Moon. LCATS takes place during theschool year on alternating Saturday mornings for 2 sessions a month, with a total of 16sessions a school year.Each 4-hour long Saturday session

change within the departments, involving students, faculty, staff, and industry in rethinking what it means to provide an engineering program [1] As one of the three funding tracks within the RED program, the Two-Year Colleges trackis intended to “develop radically new approaches among multiple two-year institutions to expandthe path to engineering and engineering technology [1]”. Clearly the NSF holds high aspirationsfor community college systems in the US. Addressing the current RED project teams at theirannual RED Consortium Meeting in September 2023, Dr. Jose Zayas-Castro, division director ofthe Engineering and Education Centers (EEC) of NSF, emphasized the importance of two-yearcolleges in providing students with access
