AB  - Community colleges are often touted as cost-effective pathways to four-year universities for academically talented low-income students. However, four-year institutions often play an insignificant role in turning this promise into reality. Funded through the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Program (S-STEM) program, the Virginia Tech Network for Engineering Transfer Students (VT-NETS) project focuses to improve collaboration efforts between the College of Engineering at Virginia Tech (VT) and its two primary community college partners: Virginia Western Community College (VWCC) and Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA). The primary project objective of VT-NETS is to determine how a four-year institution can play an active role in increasing the success and efficiency of engineering transfer throughout the full community college-to-bachelor’s degree pathway, increasing attainment of A.S. and B.S. degrees in engineering by low-income students. From a research perspective, we have analyzed both academic and non-academic factors that promote student access and progress through this pathway and have identified and sought to mitigate specific barriers through revised practices and policies.
 
Advancing a key deliverable from this NSF grant, our project serves as an example of how to establish stronger networks between a university and the state community college system. Further, we provide a guide for four-year institutions and community college educators to develop new interventions which enhance transfer pathways as well as identify pitfalls or gaps in services and transfer structures that need be remedied. Ultimately, these findings illuminate and help prioritize the human, financial, and physical resources dedicated towards supporting all transfer students in engineering.
