one of the three states, students who complete an associate’s degree at acommunity or other state college or university are given preferential admission at public, four-year institutions. Furthermore, some states have created “transfer blocks,” or sets of courses thatare often taken at a community college, which will transfer to a particular program if the studenthas earned passing grades in all the required courses. Five states with MIDFIELD institutionshave established transfer blocks for engineering; two of them include the engineering transferblocks as part of the associate’s degree, and students with satisfactory GPAs are guaranteedadmission to the MIDFIELD engineering schools in those states.Table 3 in Appendix B shows the range of

Themain themes are summarized below. Quotations have been modified to improve readability bydeleting verbal crutches, such as “um” and “you know” and false starts. We have also assignedpseudonyms to the MIDFIELD schools (A-State, B-State, C-State, and D-State) and some of thesending institutions (Local Tech, Metropolitan Community College (MCC), and College-TownCommunity College (CTCC)) to enhance readability while maintaining institutionalconfidentiality.

Several-Tablet-PCs model wherein several Tablet PCs are available for student use in groups of three or four. This model is effective in collaborative problem-solving sessions because it forces students to work together using a Tablet PC to analyze problems and generate solutions.
