Bottlenecks
• Pre-STEM academic preparation and achievement.
• Lack of completion of GE and “STEM core” courses (e.g., math sequence, physics, chemistry, etc.)
• Lack of “Transfer Student Capital”• Lack of understanding about transfer and
articulation policies and practices• STEM Student Success Literacy

Research Questions
• What are the demographic characteristics of STEM transfers, STEM native students, non-STEM transfers, and non-STEM native students at a public research university in the Midwest?
• To what extent do the four groups of students differ in academic challenges, level of institutional support, student-faculty interactions, quality of campus relationships, and overall satisfaction with the university?
• What factors predict students’ overall satisfaction?

E-APP and Retention
• E-APP students are retained at significantly higher levels than non-E-APP students.
• E-APP significantly improves retention over Non-E-APP in early studies.
• E-APP is statistically significant for improving retention even when controlling for transfer GPA and basic program GPA.
• This is especially true for DMACC students.

• Utilize Engineering-Transfer Students’ Questionnaire (E-TSQ).
• Connect survey with students’ academic transcript.
• Identify challenges regarding progression to complete engineering major.
• Explore and understand the experiences of women and URMs.
• Secure larger sample size• Employ E-TSQ at more universities
