And if the process is supposed to develop anevolutionary roadmap for the engineering education enterprise, it may be helpful more toask what social evolutionary goals exist than accepting implied direction from anarbitrary process dependent solely on the authority of the participants.Systemic and Structural FlawsThough the process is still at its beginnings, it is important to recognize that there areserious systemic and structural flaws in both the process and product.

In general, the top three reasonsstudents leave an engineering-based discipline are: (1) a perceived lack of belonging in theprogram, (2) issues related to difficulty of curriculum and (3) poor teaching or advising.1 Theseissues are often exacerbated in the transfer process as transfer students adjust to their newacademic environment and begin taking advanced engineering courses.2Engineering transfer students typically transfer from a community college or state college to theuniversity level in the third year of the program.
