The Mann-Whitney tests were chosen due to ordinal data, non-normaldistribution, and unequal variances [18]. These analyses identified patterns in students’ adjustmentexperiences and explored differences among demographic groups, analyzing Laanan’s factorsfrom the original L-TSQ. However, these analyses are exploratory, focusing on self-reportedexperiences rather than predictive or causal relationships. The qualitative component included open-ended questions to gather reflections on students’adjustment, actions their previous institution or SU could have taken to ease the transition, andadvice for future transfer students.

. Memes, as culturally relevant andoften humorous artifacts, offer a unique lens into the shared experiences, values, and normswithin the engineering community. The flexibility of memes as a medium allows them topromote a sense of community through shared meanings related to identity, inclusion, language,and cultural symbols [4]. To guide this study, we asked the following research questions: (1)What are the perceptions of students regarding the engineering programs at their university? and(2) How is engineering culture reflected in the meme content that undergraduate students chooseto create and share? To address these questions, we conducted a qualitative content analysis ofover 400 memes submitted by engineering students in a foundational
