model can be applied across other institutions where students arefollowing the 2 + 2 path for their engineering education. Co-locating the program between astudent’s home and future transfer university will provide resources to help facilitate aparticipant’s transition. This partnership approach could be especially helpful for students atcommunity colleges where there are often limited faculty resources for research. Thus, this typeof program has the potential to not only improve the retention of 2 + 2 transfer students, but alsoencourage them to consider graduate school as well as promote collaboration among facultyacross universities.References[1] A.
