stations. Our relationship with NASAcontinued in 2011, when two students and one faculty were accepted for ten-week summerinternships at Johnson Space Center and four students participated in solar panels research atour college. The success of this program and funding provided by several other grants helped us institute a Summer Undergraduate Research Program on our premises16 . The fundamental idea behind this program is that our students get to experience the entire research discovery process and the scientific method from A to Z, rather than acting as assistants for someone else’s research. We formed a team of three professors (one a Physics professor, one an Electrical Engineer, and me, a Mechanical Engineer) who review proposals

motivational model must be defined.According to the Management Study Guide (MSG), motivation is defined as the needs, desires,wants, or drives within the individuals. Motivation is considering a process consisting of threestages: 1) a felt need or drive; 2) a stimulus in that needs have been aroused; 3) when needs aresatisfied, the satisfaction or accomplishment of goals. It is considered a psychologicalphenomenon that can be influenced by success, recognition, desires, and satisfaction. Motivationcan be categorized differently depending on the area that is being analyzed. For example,Maslow (1943) expressed it based on “fundamental human needs” in terms of physiological,safety, love, esteem, and self-actualization (Latta & Patten, 1978; Leggett

starting at UCDavis to be better prepared.Computer programming is a skill required in most undergraduate engineering programs, oftenusing MATLAB. Incorporation of MATLAB/computer programming in discipline-specificcourses can connect practice exercises in programming fundamentals to real-world applications.In one such example [7], the authors used MATLAB and C programming in a first year electricalengineering course, with the application being the control of hardware devices such as sensors,input devices, and output devices. Many non-computer programming UC Davis engineeringcourses also require students to apply their knowledge of programming with MATLAB todiscipline-specific problems. For example, the UC Davis chemical engineering

have also used different strategies to organize my lectures Teaching the Metric system in the context of nanotechnology. The students learned and were successful in quantitative units conversion problems. I have increased discussion of energy efficient electronics science in my Materials Science course. This reaches 30 students per year. Students seem to appreciate the material. I have introduced new material on electricity grid fundamentals/challenges/opportunities, etc related to renewable energy. We use the electricity grid simulator from my RET project. Students love visualizing and interacting with the grid in a more tangible manner. The feedback is very positive, and students

Institutional variables include the community college’s capacity to support theiracademic goals and to provide resources that will support their transfer aspirations. 3) Initial Transfer to the Four-Year University. Once again, students’ ability totransition and excel within the four-year engineering college context is largely dependent ontheir individual level of academic and social preparation (for example, the level of preparationthat the community college provided for upper-level technical courses, and students’ familiaritywith how to form study groups) as well as institutional
