demanding fields, and informs their aspirations for STEM careers.Responses from 39 community college transfer students, gathered through in-depth interviewsand focus group discussions, reveal that the scholarship provides support in various areas,including academic choices, community and social engagement, and providing motivation andpersistence. Additionally, the S-STEM scholarship informs participants' future aspirations byoffering personal and professional development, educational and research opportunities, careeropportunities and access to resources and informational support. Participants highly value thescholarship's role in shaping their career trajectories in the STEM field and contributing to theiracademic success.1. IntroductionThe demand

Engineering Liaison Council and is a doctoral student in Engineering Education.Dr. Winny Dong, ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2025 Understanding and Addressing Transfer Credit Loss in Engineering EducationAbstractThe persistent transfer credit loss among engineering transfer students, particularly in California,has far-reaching implications for individual academic pathways, the higher education landscape,and workforce development. Academic transfer credit loss can result from multiple factors,including issues of transfer requirements, missing transfer pathways, and curriculum misalignmentbetween community colleges and universities, often stemming from variations in course content,sequencing, and rigor

, practices, and relationships to guide students along the manystrands. The work has been practical and applied; although we used education research to informthe adopted changes, this paper is not a discussion of research findings.Colorado has high levels of technical employment but low levels of post-secondary degreecompletion among residents. The University of Colorado Boulder (UCB), the state’s flagship,plays a key role in state workforce development, yet, for students starting in one of the state’scommunity colleges, transfer leading to engineering graduation at UCB has been rare.About a decade ago, one co-author left his community college job to begin recruiting andadvising engineering students at UCB. He immediately noted low transfer rates and

student in Engineering Education.Ms. Anne Victoria Wrobetz, Purdue University at West Lafayette (COE) Anne Wrobetz currently serves as the lead engineering faculty at Front Range Community College in Colorado, in addition to pursuing a PhD in Engineering Education as a Hybrid Student at Purdue University. She hopes to analyze the factors that impact nontraditional students’ success and persistence in engineering, particularly at the community college level. Anne received a BS and MS in Civil & Environmental Engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Since graduating in 2015, Anne has worked as a clean technology researcher and engineer in the environmental remediation sector. She has taught engineering

motivation–and sense of belonging are explored as theyare impacted by the program and school activities. Additionally, the effects of the activities ontransfer engineering student transitions are investigated and discussed.Using a survey-based mixed-method approach, we collected information on students’engagement with support activities, their transition experiences, the perceived impact of theseactivities, and their levels of motivation and sense of belonging. Our findings indicated nostatistically significant differences in motivation and sense of belonging between students whoparticipated in community-building, professional development, and academic supportopportunities and those who did not. However, minor trends suggest that participation in
