This paper contributes to the literature by providing insights into thelived experiences of engineering transfer students. As engineering faculty and staff, we havegleaned these insights by working more closely with this group of students than we often are ableto with non-S-STEM students. We are writing to share these insights to other faculty who, likeus, do not typically have the opportunity to get to know student stories this closely.

These students often determine very young thatthey are not as capable in learning as their peers because they struggle to master reading. Yet,many dyslexic students are also gifted, and some researchers believe that some dyslexic studentshave a unique capacity to visualize in three dimensions, which ironically contributes to thechallenge of mastering reading in two dimensions. The ability to reason in three dimensions is anadvantage when learning STEM.

to help the instructor and evaluator determine theimpact of the course on these important competencies. For example, assessment of teamworkskills will involve three separate evaluations: instructor, peer and self evaluation. Instructor levelassessment will involve observation of both the formal and informal cooperative learning groupsduring in-class exercises. The data from these observations can be tracked during the term toidentify whether an improvement has been made. Peer evaluation will be accomplished througha form that students will fill out at the mid-term mark and at the end of the term. Self evaluationwill be more qualitative as students are asked to reflect on their performance as a team memberby writing in their academic journals
