studentsin general. Recent developments, however, have threatened the viability of engineeringprograms in California Community Colleges, endangering this very important pipeline in theengineering educational system. The increasing divergence of the lower-division requirementsamong different four-year institutions and among the different fields of engineering has led to theerosion of what used to be a standard set of core engineering courses (graphics, statics, propertiesof materials, circuits, programming) that were required by all engineering programs. This has inturn made it more difficult for community college students to identify and access required lower-division engineering courses, thereby creating barriers to transfer, increasing costs and
