this lack of representation in higher education engineeringprograms, the University of Lowell S-STEM program, funded by the NSF Scholarships inScience, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Program (S-STEM), has the goal torecruit three cohorts of low-income, high-achieving students who wish to pursue a career inhigher education. The UML S-STEM program supports engineering scholars for four years,their last two years of undergraduate school and their first two years of graduate school. Thegoal of the program is to attract and retain diverse engineering S-STEM scholars and preparethem to enter the competitive pool of future faculty candidates. We present our successes and challenges in recruiting the first two cohorts of low-income

This paper focused on thestickiness measure for NTS students, and other statistical tests of prediction were outside thescope of this paper. Further research is needed to explore why NTS’ stickiness follows adifferent trend than traditional students. 5 ReferencesAlvord, C. J. (2004).

theproportional representation issue does not actually create an inclusive environment supportive ofstudent success [5-7]. Just as equality does not equal equity [8]; parity does not equal inclusion[6, 9]. Hurtado and colleagues (2012) pointed out how compositional diversity is only one factorin creating a diverse learning environment [10]. Efforts designed to increase compositionaldiversity neglect the experiences and different combinations of barriers that individuals mustconfront. "Underrepresented" could also be considered a form of spot-lighting, of continuouslyreminding students that each of them is a "representative" for their social identity group(s) [11].This socially-taxing language reminds individuals that their group is judged by the
motivations or reasons fortransferring to a different institution; an important aspect of our study is to untangle thosereasons for engineering transfer students in Texas. Students accumulate transfer student capital,or knowledge about the transfer process, at sending institutions (i.e., the place(s) where studentsbegin their degree paths), receiving institutions (i.e., the final degree-granting institution), andpotentially from non-institutional sources. The development of transfer student capital maycome from experiences related to learning and study skills, course learning, perceptions of thetransfer process, academic advising and counseling, and experiences with faculty. Upon arrivingat the receiving institution, students must adjust to the new
perceptionsof doing engineering work, regardless of occupational title. We also believe that a sequentialregression model will show that engineering belief measures predict a significant proportion ofvariance in perceptions of having jobs “related to” engineering, over and above SCCT variables.AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank the Purdue University Davidson School of Engineering, whosePipeline Center funded this project.

One principal reason for this faltering economy is the United States’ inability todevelop qualified science and engineering (S&E) human capital, in particular women andminorities. However, diversity in the S&E workforce has not improved over the last decade [2];and, given Hispanics aged 21 years and older represent 15% of the U.S. population, a mere 6%of the S&E workforce are Hispanic [2].The Bureau of Labor Statistics has projected that total employment in S&E jobs will increase at afaster rate (1.1% compound annual growth rate) from 2016 to 2026 than employment in

Larger S/N ratios are preferred and indicate a possible useful predictive variable. 3 Stage 4: The variables that were identified as significant due to a positive S/N are used to develop a forecasting model.
