AB  -                      Literature Review on Engineering Transfer Students                      and Diversifying Pathways to Engineering DegreesAbstract        Engineering is essential to our health, happiness, and safety.1 As a result, quality of lifein the United States is largely dependent on the fruitful efforts of a skilled science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce which includes engineers that design, build,and create innovative products that affect us daily and help shape the future.2 President Obama,in his State of the Union speech for three consecutive years, directly addressed the importance ofSTEM education to our country and its relationship to the health of the U.S. economy. Despitenational efforts, in the past, to expand the domestic STEM workforce, enrollment and degreesawarded in engineering have stayed relatively constant in the United States for more than twodecades.        In 2012, the President’s Council of Advisors on Science Technology (PCAST) released areport to President Obama entitled Engage to Excel: Producing One Million Additional CollegeGraduates with Degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. The reportdocuments the need for STEM talent in the U.S. workforce and posits that the demand for morecollege graduates in STEM can be met with efforts focused on: 1.) increasing retention rates; 2.)and diversifying pathways.3        This study responds to a call for action from President Obama and his Council ofAdvisors on Science Technology. The purpose of my research is: 1.) to determine if the transferstudent pathway is an effective strategy to increase engineering degree production; and 2.) tounderstand how institutional policy and organizational structure affect pathways into engineeringat Tier One Research Universities for transfer students. Findings from this study will assistpolicy makers, higher education administrators, deans, and department chairs understand how toallocate limited resources (i.e. financial and human) to diversify pathways and increase thenumber of students who transfer into engineering at Tier One Research Universities. Thisliterature review surveys the large body of literature on the experiences of community collegestudents and identifies gaps in the literature on pathways and outcomes for engineering studenttransfers.                                                 1References1.
