Due to the unexpected circumstances created by theCOVID-19 pandemic, however, the education system transitioned to a remote format that could notsupport many of these research opportunities. With fewer opportunities for community college STEMstudents to engage in undergraduate research, an open

ETS scholars could renew their scholarships for up to three semesters (approximately2 years) if they demonstrated progress toward their degrees and maintained a minimum 2.75cumulative grade point average (GPA). Students who fell below the requirements were placed ona one-semester probation period and received a counseling session with their academic facultyadvisors to discuss academic difficulties.In addition to the scholarships, ETS participants attended the Success Seminar Series along withstudents participating in the TAMU Engineering Living Learning Community (ELLC).

A qualitative analysis showed that students mainly chose topursue a baccalaureate degree in engineering due to the financial reward, family influences,faculty support, and early childhood interest. Furthermore, students’ motivation to continue topursue an engineering degree was attributed to prestige, engineering experiences acquired,financial and academic support, faculty and peer support, and gain of engineering knowledgethroughout their academic journey.Implications of the study were: a) a set of small samples of data was analyzed, and b)examination of students belonging to a specific cohort.

Above all other professions,engineering has the power to change the world on a large scale. Since I started to take my mentorship duties seriously, and I started reading aboutmentoring and visiting websites dedicated to mentoring, I realized that my vision and myphilosophy are similar in some ways to other mentors, but in some ways, they also are quiteunique. Upon discussing them with other faculty, I could see that when people write aboutmentoring they make it appear more institutionalized and well regulated but when they talkabout it, mentors emphasize the personal touch and the relationships that they developindividually

Academically, these students do well, and self-report thattheir community colleges adequately prepared them for UC Davis (as discussed in the secondtheme). Survey data indicates that there is no significant difference in GPA dissatisfaction ascompared to traditional students. However, transfer students spend more time on their coursesthan their peers. The average transfer student self-reports spending 16-20 hours per weekstudying and on other academic activities outside of class, whereas the average traditionalstudent only spends 11-15 hours per week on
