The study analyzes the pedagogical practices—practices designed to fostersuccessful transfer from community college to four-year colleges and universities and

From the standpoint of technical rationality, professional practice should be aprocess of selection of the best means and methods available to solve a given problem. Realworld problems however, do not present themselves in a well-structured manner, rather ascomplex and ill-defined situations where mostly a process of tedious problem construction needsto be performed well before starting to solve them19.Technical rationality, unfortunately, does not prepare professionals to act in situations ofuncertainty, and these are the situations which offer the greatest potential for results in areasinvolving the creation of new methods and processes which are the

Our team of student leaders, along with guidance from faculty mentors and localeducation experts, designed the modules and trained facilitators to present them. The moduleswere presented primarily during an annual three-day summer STEM camp for local elementaryschool students, as well as during one-day campus events. Each of these educational programswas centered on the theme of sustainability.Presented through a case study, our approach to assessment is iterative, in that we havedeveloped new instruments
