Researchimplications include recommendations to examine the use of this framework with more pre-transfer students and programs and additional research on how transfer student capital can betterimpact access and diversity in engineering and STEM education higher education and careerpathways. This study provides a distinct, systematic synthesis of transfer student capital inengineering and STEM education. It expands understanding of how to support equitableeducational advancement preparing community college transfer students for the workforce of thefuture and innovative changes needed in traditional educational models.2

2001, the Civil Engineering Program at the University of Evansville began surveying alumnielectronically using a web-based system. Surveys were conducted bi-annually from 2001-2009,and response rates ranged from 67% to 78%. Survey questions were developed to assess theprogram’s educational objectives (PEO) as required by EAC-ABET. The alumni surveyprovided the program with valuable direct assessment data such as the percentage of graduatesworking in specific civil engineering specialty areas, the percentage of graduates that aremembers of ASCE, the percentage that are registered professional engineers, and the number thathave attended continuing education courses in the past 24 months, obtained a graduate degree,traveled outside the country

Black andHispanic students encounter. Furthermore, this study describes how Black and Hispanicstudents at MSIs come to value social support. These findings suggest that MSIs may beparticularly successful in retaining minority students because they allow a variety of strongsupport systems to work concurrently within an educational experience. A deeperunderstanding of how underrepresented students value support can help PWIs that wish toprovide a more supportive environment for Black and Hispanic students. While many wouldagree that all students value social support and find it beneficial to some degree, this studyrevealed that ethnic differences exists in how engineering students value and describesupport—specifically the social support received
