equivalency decisionsmade by receiving institution faculty may reflect program-specific concepts of rigor (A.Richardson, 2021; Senie, 2016). When sending-institution coursework is assessed asinequivalent, the transfer function of higher education contributes to the perception of a fracturedengineering education ecosystem. The assessment of coursework equivalency is particularlycentral to transfer admissions, when compared to undergraduate and graduate admissions. Incombination with other aspects of transfer admissions, the process of determining courseequivalency contributes to student experiences of increased time-to-degree and credit loss.Credit loss Credit loss occurs when a transfer student’s college coursework is not accepted by

It is particularly valuable for identifying research patterns,understanding collaboration dynamics and discovering emerging areas of focus within specificfields (Pessin et al., 2022). Thus, this study adopts the bibliometric technique to map and identifyresearch trends, patterns and emerging themes in the field of modular construction.
