knowledge rather than solely consumers of knowledge.BackgroundA 2016 Harvard Business School report found a faltering United States economy and a need forreform [1]. One principal reason for this faltering economy is the United States’ inability todevelop qualified science and engineering (S&E) human capital, in particular women andminorities. However, diversity in the S&E workforce has not improved over the last decade [2];and, given Hispanics aged 21 years and older represent 15% of the U.S. population, a mere 6%of the S&E workforce are Hispanic [2].The Bureau of Labor Statistics has projected that total employment in S&E jobs will increase at afaster rate (1.1% compound annual growth rate) from 2016 to 2026 than employment in

color,particularly African Americans, Latino(a)s, and Native Americans, only make up a very small proportionof engineering majors, with little improvement in the last 10 years [18]. In addition to racial/ethnicminority groups historically underrepresented in STEM more broadly, students who are from rural areas,who are the first generation to attend college, who are not able bodied, and those who lack financialresources are often not adequately prepared in their K-12 education, and often do not meet the minimumstandardized test scores to be admitted into engineering programs, particularly at land grant universities. Many engineering colleges are creating institutional resources to support student success and toreduce the historical barriers

cousin that's went to, uh. She, she's just been older than me and I was asking her like what was gonna be required of me in college and stuff and like, s-s-simple things like that. But then I would also ask my aunts and uncles because they have close ties to [Four-Year Institution] so I was […] already sure that I was going to [Four-Year Institution]. – CalebAnother example of this shown when Robin, a participant from a four-year institution focusgroup, is discussing her great-aunt. Robin mentions how this relative influenced her to go tocollege and encouraged her to do well in school. My great-aunt [is] amazing.

The primary objective of VT-NETS is to determine how allthree partners can increase the success and efficiency of engineering transfer through communitycollege-to-bachelor’s degree pathways, thus increasing attainment of A.S. and B.S. degrees inengineering. VT-NETS works toward increasing access to co-curricular programs, streamliningand aligning advising between institutions, and developing a cohort mentality among the pre-transfer students at the community college.

]. It is important to note that the framework is one model of the transition processand that as few or as many S’s as are deemed appropriate can be used to describe the transitionprocess. Figure 1 provides a visual representation of the cyclic nature of a transition and the fourmain aspects of this theoretical framework.Figure 1: The Schlossberg Transition Theory Framework (adapted from Schlossberg, 1981).Each S within this framework addresses an aspect of transition. Self describes personalcharacteristics of one’s image and their psychological resources. It also includes demographiccharacteristics, perceptions of themselves, and their value systems. Situation is rooted more inthe actual transition and the changes that are occurring. This is
