ESTEEM: Enhancing Success in Transfer Education for Engineering Majors

在工程专业（ESTEEM）项目转移教育的提高成功将支持和提高学业有才华，低收入学生在工程四个加州社区学院和一个主要的公立研究型大学，所有这些都是西班牙裔服务机构完成学位。在艾伦汉考克学院、奥克斯纳德学院、圣巴巴拉城市学院、文图拉学院和加州大学圣巴巴拉分校就读的有前途的学生将参加一个综合项目，该项目包括学术辅导、职业咨询、专业网络建设和奖学金，旨在为从社区学院过渡到四年制大学之前、期间和之后的转学生提供持续的支持。ESTEEM研究将探讨成功转移的主要障碍，以及旨在帮助有抱负的工程专业学生克服这些障碍的策略的有效性。来自五所院校的教师将进行重要的合作，以确保适当的课程在不同地点之间共享，并加强学生转学申请。ESTEEM项目将成为加州高等教育体系中扩大入学机会和增加多样性的重要新模式。ESTEEM项目的目标是提高加州社区学院学生转学申请四年制工程学士学位的竞争力。课程，以提高转学生的准备，承担先进的工程课程，并加快转学生的调整，以大学的学术环境。该项目的范围包括通过机构间合作协调转移途径，通过重叠的队列顺序设计促进转移成功的课程和课外干预措施的教育研究提供信息。圣巴巴拉的加州大学工程系与社区学院教师合作，将试点向社区学院学生提供入门课程。社区学院的ESTEEM学者将与教师导师一起制定个性化的教育计划，以计划他们转移到4年制工程学士学位。程序.转到圣巴巴拉加州大学工程学院的ESTEEM学者将获得持续的奖学金支持和教师指导，以确保他们成功毕业。使用重叠队列顺序设计的教育影响研究将检查每种类型的增强课程和课外本科生的经验转移完成和转移后的调整，感知成功的可能性和目标的衔接的影响。

The Enhancing Success in Transfer Education for Engineering Majors (ESTEEM) project will support and enhance degree completion by academically-talented, low-income students in Engineering at four California Community Colleges and a major public research university, all of which are Hispanic-Serving Institutions. Promising students enrolled at Alan Hancock College, Oxnard College, Santa Barbara City College, Ventura College and the University of California, Santa Barbara, will participate in an integrated program of academic tutoring, career advising, professional network-building, and scholarships designed to provide sustained support for transfer students before, during, and after the transition from community college to a four-year university. ESTEEM research will explore the major barriers to successful transfer, and the effectiveness of strategies targeted at helping aspiring Engineering students to overcome them. Faculty from each of the five institutions will engage in significant collaboration to ensure that appropriate courses are shared between sites, and to strengthen student transfer applications. ESTEEM will serve as an important new model for expanding access to and increasing diversity in California's higher education system.The goals of the ESTEEM project are to enhance the competitiveness of California Community College students in their transfer applications to four-year Engineering B.S. programs, to improve transfer students' preparation to undertake advanced engineering coursework, and to accelerate the adjustment of transfer students to a University academic environment. The scope of the project includes coordination of transfer pathways through inter-institutional collaboration, informed by an education research study of curricular and co-curricular interventions that promote transfer success via an overlapping cohort-sequential design. In collaboration with community college faculty, Engineering faculty at the University of California, Santa Barbara will pilot the offering of gateway courses to community college students. ESTEEM Scholars at the community colleges will develop personalized education plans with faculty mentors to plan their transfer to a 4-year Engineering B.S. program. ESTEEM Scholars who transfer to the College of Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara, will receive continued scholarship support and faculty mentoring to ensure their successful graduation. An educational impact study using an overlapping cohort-sequential design will examine the impact of each type of enhanced curricular and co-curricular undergraduate experience on transfer completion and post-transfer adjustment, perceived likelihood of success, and articulation of goals.
