AB  -                  Transfer Students: Lessons Learned Over 10 YearsIn 2002, an upper division C-SEMS grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation to anengineering school at a large university. Transfer students, primarily from community colleges,made up half of the students the first year of the program. The next year, a second C-SEMS grantwas awarded by the National Science Foundation, focused on upper division transfer students.This program ran for five years and was continued for an additional five years by a NationalScience Foundation S-STEM grant.This paper will summarize the accomplishments of the S-STEM program. This program had 78students: 43.6% underrepresented minority, 29.5% female, and 65.4% either female orunderrepresented minority. Therefore, this program overrepresented minority engineering andcomputer science students in the university by almost double and females by over 60%. All ofthe students had unmet financial need. The graduation rate of these students is over 95%. Of thestudents who have graduated, 50% have gone right on to graduate school, an amazing numbergiven that nationally only about 20% of engineering students go right on to graduate school.The accomplishments of this group of students will be compared with the 62 students who wentthrough the first transfer program in 2003-2008. A major difference is in the percentage ofstudents going right on to graduate school. In the first C-SEMS programs, about 40% of thenative students went right to graduate school and about 30% of the transfer students. While thereare very good rates compared to students not in the scholarship program, these rate are quite a bitlower than the current 50% for transfer students. Program changes will be noted which mayhave been factors in the differences between the groups.
