couldbe replicated on a national level. I also believe that providing students with mentors thathave extensive experience as practicing engineers can underpin the core of each experiencethat an undergraduate receives, and better prepare them to be engineers, both mentally andacademically. Retention rates, grade point averages and graduation and transfer rates forengineering majors who have been nurtured in our experience-centered “nest” are muchhigher than the rates for SAC students as a whole.Publications After witnessing for several years a continuous decrease of students’ 3-D visualizationskills I decided to develop a series of exercises to help the correct the situation. The exerciseswere collected in a book “A, B, See in 3D”20

The lower satisfaction is unlikely due to students’ efforts to becomeinvolved on campus. Transfer students are more likely to be involved in a student organizationthan non-transfer students, despite having been on campus for a shorter period of time. Figure 1.

Despite the efforts to ease the transfer process, the need for increased attention andresources devoted to transfer students is particularly evident and critical at mid-sizeduniversities. In a recent study conducted by a mid-sized university examining the experiences oftheir transfer students, the following university-focused recommendations were offered: (a)provide resources to all transfer students on academic warning to enhance their timemanagement, organizational, and attentional skills (e.g., a one-credit course or workshop); (b)include self-efficacy

Then, in 2001, in response to concerns about the adverse impact of H-1B on the U.S. labor force [1], the U.S. Congress allocated additional funds to the ComputerScience, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarship (CSEMS) program at the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) by making significant changes to the H1-B Visa allocations and fees [2].Since then, CSEMS [3] and its replacement program
