roommates. Entry 2: I came into UGA as a third year being an A/B student with only one C on my transcript. After my first round of tests, I failed everything single one. My study habits did not change whatsoever. I continued to do my work, I prioritized school over everything else, yet I did not perform to the level I am used to. To say the least, it was very discouraging. After this time, I did what many students do, and called my mom crying. I was so upset because I spent so much time studying and had no reward. She did not know what to tell me, but reminded me that it would be okay and I would learn how to adjust and do better. After calling my step-mom, I confessed how scared I was to lose my

courses by comparing their effectiveness to regular State College courses in (a) student academic success and (b) student success in follow-up courses (e.g., relative success of students in Calculus after taking the prerequisite Pre-Calculus course.o Introduction to Programming offered at State Colleges. Because this course also has a high DFW (i.e., failure and withdrawal) rate, it serves as a barrier to students whose intent is to major in computer science. The objective of this project curriculum refinement component is to improve the conceptual framework of this course so it is optimally effective for State College students in terms of course achievement outcomes and retention in a STEM education degree track. The course

The UUV wassuccessfully tested in bodies of water down to a depth of 20 feet in collaboration with localemergency management personnel/divers (Figure 4 a-b-c). The project served as a proof ofconcept for possible future upgrades that would culminate in a fully operational UUV that couldimprove the responsiveness and safety of emergency underwater search operations.

In this paper, wedescribe findings from interviews conducted with two populations that we plan to explorethroughout the project: A) Undergraduates who have recently transferred to a four-yearengineering college, who likely have at least two additional semesters of coursework to completebefore earning their B.S.; later in this article we refer to this undergraduate population as CohortA. B) Undergraduates who have earned a substantial number of credits at the four-yearinstitution, and are now preparing to receive their B.S. in engineering relatively soon. We referto this population as Cohort

mostinteresting results from this survey came in the section concerning their 2-year programs as theysupport the need of the VTAB grant. Most of the students always planned to go to a 4-yearschool after completing their 2-year program (22 out of 23 respondents or 96% of the secondcohort, which was almost identical to the 22 out of 24 respondents or 92% for the first cohort).Question #5 of the online survey asked, “What were your main reasons for enrolling in the 2-Year school instead of a 4-Year college or university? (Check all that apply): (a) Academicreasons, (b) Financial reasons, (c) Personal reasons, and (d) Other reasons.” Figure 1 presents abar chart of responses to this question from each of the two cohorts.What were your main reasons for
