This could be one of thereasons that the virtual reality based condition scored higher in terms of ease of memory and theperceived ability to apply the concepts learned. Statistically significant differences were foundfor the engagement level and the perceived learning outcomes, suggesting that presenting casestudies using a virtual reality based system has the potential to enhance both of these.However, this study is not without limitations. It was conducted using students enrolled in onecourse, CPT 101, from one community college in South Carolina.

Recently there has also been an increasing awareness of theimportant role that community colleges play in educating STEM professionals, especially inbroadening participation among students from underrepresented groups.

, President Obama called for 1 million new STEM graduates within the next decade. Thiscall to action was met with a myriad of local and federal educational initiatives, STEM-specificgrant funding, and an emergence of STEM programming at every level of our education system.This new momentum also focuses on the under-representation of minorities and women pursuingSTEM. As a federally-designated Hispanic-serving community college, our goal of fosteringmore STEM-educated students is embedded within a complex web of obstacles and challenges.In response to these challenges, The STEM Center at Cañada College identified four keyobstacles faced by a majority of our community college students interested in STEM: 1)exponential attrition – the longer the course

The objective of this study is to understand the impact the STEM Center has had on increasing the number of STEM students who are transfer-ready and who transfer to 4-year institutions.2. Background and literature review Previous research on transfer of community colleges to 4-year institutions have suggested that student characteristics, background, and academic preparations are significant factors contributing to a student’s successful transfer. Student characteristics that consistently contribute to higher transfer rates include being younger, having higher socioeconomic status, and better academic preparation in high school3
