This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education provides $998,453 to the California Polytechnic State University Foundation, Inc. to deliver products and services under the STEM Education federal grant program (CFDA 47.076). Specifically, the awardee will minimize struggles and maximize performance for engineering transfer students through a transfer pathway program and faculty learning community. This will identify critical success factors impacting transfers and offer more diverse lower-division engineering courses. The goal is to decrease time to degree completion and foster success in obtaining bachelor's degrees for the large percentage of students entering engineering programs via transfer. If successful, the models and curriculum developed could strengthen statewide efforts supporting transfer students through an Associate Degree for Transfer in engineering. The period of performance is January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2026.
