community college pipeline has played an important role in providing access to highereducation for students whose circumstances may have precluded their enrollment at four-yearinstitutions for the entire duration of their undergraduate education. This is especially true forwomen, members of marginalized communities, non-traditional students over the age of 24, andindividuals of low socioeconomic status, all of whom continue to be underrepresented in STEMfields. Roughly 40 percent of first time in college (FTIC) students pursuing higher education inthe United Stated start in community colleges [1] [2]. Out of 632,051 students who first enrolledat a community college in the fall 2015 term, 31.6 percent (199,913) transferred to a four-yearinstitution

There are also advocates who are drawing attention to the fact thatseemingly neutral policies such as requiring remedial courses and limited credit transfers fromassociate degree programs can have unintended consequences and contribute to structural racismin higher education [4]. However, there has been less study of policies regarding tuition and feesoutside of financial aid and assistance. The work recently done in [5], explores how tuition and feesystems in different countries support or inhibit participation of low-income students.

The systematized literature review resulted in nineteen peer-reviewed journal articles,published after 2010, collected from the Compendex and ERIC databases. These papers werethematically analyzed and results compared.

However, while many engineering faculty are experts within theirfield, they are often not experts in pedagogy and may not have the expertise needed tosuccessfully navigate a transition from traditional teaching practices to PBL [4], [5].Managing a successful transition to a PBL

However, scholars fromeducation, management, and psychology have defined mentorship differently [1], oftenconflating such activities with other types of developmental functions or relationships such asrole modeling [2], teaching or coaching [3], and professional development training [4]. Thisvariation in how mentorship is perceived can lead to challenges clarifying mentorship as aphenomenon [5].
