This paper contributes to the literature by providing insights into thelived experiences of engineering transfer students. As engineering faculty and staff, we havegleaned these insights by working more closely with this group of students than we often are ableto with non-S-STEM students. We are writing to share these insights to other faculty who, likeus, do not typically have the opportunity to get to know student stories this closely.

I believe knowing about that significantly helped me with my self-confidence. Also, my advisor has always been open about acknowledging my struggles and has normalized it for me that I can make a mistake and it’s fine. Acknowledging my hard work has allowed me to be open up about my struggles and not be ashamed of who I am as a scholar. I

The“Tinto Model of Student Retention”7 provides a useful framework for discussion of academicand social integration, adopted by existing successful programs such as National ScienceFoundation (NSF) funded Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP), whichaims to “build productive capacity and output within institutions having significant enrollment ofminority populations” 8 in STEM fields. Specifically, Tinto’s theory recommends tailoredintervention to meet the needs of specific cohorts (e.g. transfer students, academically “at risk”students, “non-traditional” students).

DHH students constantly look away from their laptopdisplay to search and study the visuals. As a result, they spend less time watching lecture visualsand gain less information than their hearing peers. However, the need to process simultaneousaural and visual information can also be taxing for hearing students, and previous studies haveshown that they also benefit from real-time speech-to-text transcription.We evaluated the real-time display of captions (RTD) usability by both deaf and hearing studentsin an engineering class.

haste to complete the exercises. The clarity of text-based exercises can often be an issue. Not every student interprets instructions in the same way. Students read and interpret instructions at different speeds. This results in challenges keeping the class moving through material together. This can exacerbate a weaker student’s understanding of critical concepts as they rush in an attempt to keep pace with their peers. Instructors and TAs are often by-standers when students are working on these exercises. In many cases they are relegated to assisting students understand the instructions rather than engaging them in deepening their understanding of the concepts.

Students also completed a pre/post measure of their abilities toco-regulate their work as members of a group. We found that students showed improved co-regulation abilities, performed lowest on the individually completed quiz, and that the studentswho began with the lowest scores on the concept inventory had comparable outcomes to theirhigher-scoring peers.

The mindsets she describes are particularly troublesome when they preventengineers from taking ideas or perspectives different than their own seriously.As educators, we are particularly concerned about how privileging their own knowledge andexpertise at the expense of others may foreclose opportunities for future engineers to engagemeaningfully with stakeholders.
