andeffort expended with and without the adaptive platform. Data from our evaluation survey weretriangulated with qualitative data collected from the student focus groups and instructorinterviews, since the questions aligned. We conducted two focus groups with differentdemographic groups – 1) white males and 2) students who were not white males – to investigatepotential differences in perspective based on demographic background. The assessment analystfor the project (i.e., the first author) and an upper-level undergraduate student performed acontent analysis of the focus group data. They each independently coded the data and thendiscussed their responses to achieve consensus; thus, the focus group data were double-coded.Nonetheless, their first-time

. The seminar was designed to provide students with tangible examples of how coursematerial would connect with students’ future classes and profession. Activities were related to earlyengineering fundamentals courses (e.g., statics, dynamics, and mechanics of materials), as well asapplications of specific civil engineering subdisciplines (e.g., structural and transportation engineering)(Tables 3-4). The engineering faculty worked closely with course instructors to ensure that seminaractivities aligned with recent course topics. Seminar deliverables and a comprehensive project accountedfor 20% of the course grade.Table 3. Summary of activities completed in the parallel engineering applications seminar.

This paper presents on thethree years year of a multistage research project funded by the National Science Foundation(NSF). The value of the study’s findings depends largely on an exploratory research design,which analyzes the pedagogical practices—practices designed to foster successful transfer fromcommunity college to four-year colleges and universities and how students’ innovative capabilityinfluences such transfer capacity. The goals of this research are: (1) to explore the pedagogicalpractices used to support non-traditional students in community colleges to persist in engineeringand science majors, (2) to understand whether such practices are effective
