It isdesigned to deliver a specific curriculum in a condensed period (6 weeks), emphasizing themastery of student's deficiencies before entering a rigorous engineering or computer sciencecurriculum.

The students believe these ACE Fellows act as mentors, who theyfind more approachable than professors, and valuable resources to them in their educationjourney and development as engineers. Another value of the program is the scholarshipopportunity that SPECTRA provides. Students believe the funding they receive has significantlyimpacted their education. Some state that they would not be able to attend Clemson had they notbeen provided scholarships.

) are an effective approach for enhancing studentsuccess within STEM fields [1]. Due to their documented ability to improve outcomes amongsthistorically underrepresented individuals [2], UREs are a promising strategy for improvingrepresentation within the STEM workforce. Unfortunately, the large-scale adoption of UREs usingtraditional models has been limited by the natural scalability issues associated with traditionalapprenticeship-based models [3]. Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) are a viable alternative forincreasing participation in UR. While these experiences have been disproportionally implementedwithin the life and physical sciences disciplines to date [4], their utilization within engineering isincreasing

different regions [4], [5].Within the field of engineering, the challenges are even more pronounced, and the transferstudents are fewer due to tight curriculum programs and prerequires [6], [7]. While research onengineering transfer students is emerging, most of the research focuses on post-transfer studentsand there is a gap in understanding of pre-transfer engineering students. In addition to this gap,there is little understanding of the geographic and demographic variability in transfer assets ofpre-transfer engineering students. Transfer student capital (TSC), a framework which identifiesconstructs designed to improve transfer student success, is the theoretical framework whichguides this research study [6], [8], [9], [10].

Her research draws from perspectives in anthropology, cultural psychology, and the learning sciences to focus on the role of culture and ideology in science learning and educational change. Her research interests include how to: (a) disrupt problematic cultural narratives in STEM (e.g. brilliance narratives, meritocracy, and individualistic competition); (b) cultivate equity-minded approaches in ed- ucational spheres, where educators take responsibility for racialized inequities in student success; and (c) cultivate more ethical future
