Transfer students also have fewer opportunities toparticipate in high-impact learning experiences such as undergraduate research and internshipsthan first-time freshmen [2]. STEM transfer students can have challenges as they adjust tocampus life [3], [4], including course credit loss [5], which can delay graduation or lead toattrition, perception of lack of advisor support or misinformation [6], or perception of “stigma”as a transfer student [3].

After themoment of inertia demonstrations, studentsvolunteered that the shorter AC would bendmore than the longer BD. This animationdemonstrated that points A, B, C, and Dwhich were all in plane when the J-beam wasundeformed were no longer all planarafterwards. This experience gave somecontext to the homework question shown inFigure 8 where students were asked tocalculate the product of inertia for the beam.

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.

another career of study mightadd to the depth of exploration of experiences.Students’ experiences from this study suggest that professors should be mindful when assigninggroup work, to ensure women, and women of color in particular, are not relegated toadministrative tasks. Institutions should be more inclusive of their representations of “whois/can be an engineer” in all courses and academic clubs, not just affinity based ones. It isimportant for all students, especially White males, to be exposed to an academic engineeringenvironment that is diverse and inclusive.References1. M. Estrada, M. Burnett, A. G. Campbell, P. B.

If we didn't agree with something, we all looked at it….Most of the research we did individually, but then we had weekly meetings where we all came together and talked about them all. Then, when we asked [the physician] to meet with us, we were all there, and he talked us through it. Then, using his expertise and our discussion, some people would go to observe whether a need was actually viable. We would synthesize all that information to decide which needs to follow through on.”Although survey respondents indicated that they already possessed these skills prior to theirinvolvement in the CPM program (Appendix B), they still reported

All was accomplished in the name of the public good (that is, Aryan publicgood). More disturbingly, notable American firms were also involved: Ford Motor Company,IBM, Bayer, to name but a few.

government the consequences can be detrimental to both the public and the company itself. There are many more concepts not outlined in this paper an engineer must abide by. The NSPE Code of Ethics, IEEE Code ofEthics, and ACM Code of Ethics all outline some of those topics as well as topics that are specific to different industries. These expectations also hold for students and anyone else that is involved with the engineeringworld. Since the development of these Code of Ethics, more schools have adopted and required ethical courses as a countermeasure for unethical decisions made in the workplace and for that I think the future looks a little brighter.
