This uncertainty ispartly due to their limited exposure to the local industrial landscape, which hinders them frommaking informed decisions about their future. Consequently, these students may encounterdifficulties as they strive to transition from the confines of a smaller community college to alarger, more comprehensive institution, especially when aiming to

Some of these are explored further inthe qualitative analysis.Limitations A few factors must be taken into consideration when observing these results. For one, thecourses in which the MAE was implemented in engineering majors were not focused onundergraduate research, and all of the engineering courses were part of the students’ degreerequirements. In comparison, the SPECTRA course was not required for students' degrees, but itwas a requirement to remain within the SPECTRA program. Another difference between thesecourses was the class size, which was

Studies have shown that thereare differences between students who transfer laterally and students who transfer vertically intoengineering programs [18], [19], [20]. A lateral transfer occurs when students switch betweeninstitutions at the same level, such as transferring from one four-year college to another or fromone community college to another. Our study will focus on vertical transfer students who movefrom a two-year engineering program to a four-year institution to earn their bachelor's degree. Thispathway involves distinct challenges related to the vertical transfer penalty, which
