students who transferred in with fewer credit hours4.In a recent report by the National Research Council and National Academy of Engineering(2012)1, it was noted that minority groups underrepresented in STEM fields will soon make upthe majority of school age children in the Unites States and the proportion of underrepresentedminorities in the natural sciences and engineering was less than a third of the overall populationin 2006. The role of community colleges, which has the capacity to provide a diverse populationof STEM students, can provide a compelling argument for strategic two- and four-yearpartnerships to work together to transform transfer pathways efficiently. Therefore, the rationaleof this study is clear, which is to enhance our

Researchers were able to confirm that women are less likelythan men to declare an ECS major, and extremely few Black and Hispanic female transferstudents choose to major in ECS across the ten years of data analyzed.The most promising finding was the increasing success of female transfers in ECS, as theirdegree attainment rates are on the rise. Given this success, more should be done to encourage andsupport women who begin their ECS studies at a two-year college.
