. Description Who Undergraduate students in STEM majors who are in the process of transferring from a 2 year institution to a 4 year institution. What 2-credit class focused on a research topic in energy and the environment. Where The course occurred at the 4-year institution in the engineering program. When Late summer, one month before classes start in fall term. The timing of the class was organized to allow students to take the course at no cost. How Faculty from both institutions worked together to design the curriculum, project, and tasks. Why The team goal is to increase retention and success of STEM transfer
withthe funding of six engineering and computer science programs: Arizona State University(manufacturing engineering), Colorado State University (electrical and computer engineering),Purdue University (mechanical engineering), University of San Diego (general engineering),University of Oregon (chemical engineering), and University of North Carolina (computerscience). Each project addressed a specific challenge in engineering and computer educationevident in the second year of the curriculum, and the goal of each project was to achieve culturaland institutional transformation during the five-year funding window. From 2015 until 2024,there have been twenty-six projects funded at a variety of four-year institutions, both research-focused
