Further the outreachprovider can vary in size from single high school students doing experiments with youngerstudents, to scientists and engineers (S&E’s) visiting classrooms, and to fortune 500 companiesdonating vast sums of money to build STEM infrastructure.1 Each of these has the potential toinfluence students and impact STEM careers.

students in Texas. Students accumulate transfer student capital, or knowledge about thetransfer process, at sending institutions (i.e., the place(s) where students begin their degreepaths), receiving institutions (i.e., the final degree-granting institution), and potentially from non-institutional sources. The development of transfer student capital may come from experiencesrelated to learning and study skills, course learning, perceptions of the transfer process, academicadvising and counseling, and experiences with faculty. Upon arriving at the receiving institution,students must adjust to the new environment academically, socially, and psychologically, all ofwhich may influence a variety of educational outcomes.

asking students to sketch thermodynamic cycles on a temperature-entropy T-s or pressure-volume P-v chart. The typical analytical steps involving propertyretrieval followed by depiction on a property chart is disjointed and reversed. If property valuesare acquired directly from a property chart, the process is integrated into a single intuitive stepthat promotes deeper understanding. While printed charts exist, they can be challenging to readconsidering a single point must supply up to six discrete values (namely P, T, v, u, h, and s).Instead, an interactive property chart that displays properties values for user-identified states canbe highly effective visual aid.

From thisbasis of understanding, an additional load S is included in both load sequences to discuss itsinfluence on the displacement expression. This leads to a general understanding of the influencethat any number of additional loads would have on the displacement expression, and that theeffect of the load Q remains unchanged as these loads are applied.

Lack of strong written and oral communications hasbeen identified as deficiency in STEM education, resulting in poor success rate.
