Program evaluation findings have identified several opportunities forsustaining scholar transfer support outside of the financial support provided in the form ofscholarships. These opportunities fell into two major themes: (1) peer-led transfer supportinclusive of connecting transferred students and students preparing for transfer with emphasis onnavigating different university structures, and (2) collaboration across engineering disciplines todevelop and offer interdisciplinary undergraduate research and/or collaborative work on otherprojects.

These methods typically leverage numeric features ofstudents’ academic trajectories to train AI models. The advent of Transformer-based [7] largelanguage models (LLMs) [8, 9, 10, 11] has significantly expanded the potential for cross-domainapplications due to their extensive knowledge bases [12, 13] and complex task-solvingcapabilities through basic reasoning [9, 14, 15] and planning [16]. Fine-tuning these LLMs viatransfer

Thus,engineering students, educators, and practitioners may fail to consider how ethics and DEI arerelated, which may limit how they understand and apply these concepts. To better understandways that ethics and DEI connect in engineering education and practice, our study includes threephases: (1) a

This rapid job growth is especially pronounced in the clean energyindustry, which added jobs 70% faster than the overall economy from 2015-2019 and nowemploys 2.25% of all workers in the US [2]. However, not all segments of the US population areearning STEM college degrees at the same rate.
