With scholarship support from NSF, we aim torecruit, retain and graduate a total of 75 transfer scholars in our engineering and engineeringtechnology BS degree programs. The NSF scholarship is in addition to grants and aid awardedby our university. In support of this project, the university will contribute $50,000 to ensure thatTiPi scholars have continuing financial support after the grant expires and help them graduate ontime. This support indicates the university’s enthusiasm, a firm commitment of service to ourengineering and engineering technology

The reportproposes that addressing the retention problem in the first two years of college is the mostpromising and cost-effective strategy to address this need. Among the Council's recommendationsis to engage students in research early in college by implementing research courses for students inthe first two years, and establishing collaborations between research universities and communitycolleges to provide all students access to research experiences.

In our research, we applied disciplinary identity theory, with a focus on computingidentity, to explore participants’ perceptions of the experiences and the impact of the Guild ontheir future computing aspirations. Towards this goal, we used a convergent parallelmixed-methods approach. We conducted pre- and post-workshop surveys of (n = 34) students’impressions and goals.

These anecdotes illustrate how intuitionacts as a valuable complementary skill to technical and analytical abilities, guiding decision-making when logic alone might fall short. Rivers, a senior, perfectly encapsulated this: “You must logically evaluate whether your answer makes sense.
