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.

在工程专业的转会教育（ENEM）项目中的增强成功将支持和增强学术学位的完成学位，从而在四所加利福尼亚社区学院和一所主要的公共研究大学的工程学学术上的低收入学生中完成学位，所有这些都是西班牙裔服务机构。参加艾伦·汉考克学院，奥克斯纳德学院，圣塔芭芭拉市学院，文图拉学院和加利福尼亚大学圣塔芭芭拉分校的有前途的学生将参加一项综合课程的学术辅导计划，职业咨询，专业网络建设以及旨在为从社区过渡到四年级大学的转学学生，旨在为转学学生提供的持续支持。尊敬研究将探讨成功转移的主要障碍，以及针对帮助有抱负的工程专业学生克服它们的战略的有效性。五个机构中每个机构的教师将进行大量合作，以确保站点之间共享适当的课程，并加强学生转学申请。尊敬将成为扩大加利福尼亚高等教育系统中访问和增加多样性的重要新模​​型。尊敬项目的目标是增强加利福尼亚社区大学学生在转学申请中的竞争力，以提高四年制工程学士学位。计划，以改善学生的准备工作，以进行高级工程课程，并加快转学学生到大学学术环境的调整。该项目的范围包括通过机构间合作协调转移途径，这是通过对课程和教学干预的教育研究的启发，该研究通过重叠的队列序列设计来促进转移成功。加利福尼亚大学的工程学院与社区学院的教职员工合作，圣塔芭芭拉（Santa Barbara）将驾驶向社区大学生提供门户课程。社区学院的尊敬学者将与教师导师一起制定个性化的教育计划，以计划将其转移到4年的工程学士学位。程序。转移到加利福尼亚大学圣塔芭芭拉大学工程学院的尊敬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。使用重叠队列的教育影响研究将研究每种类型的课程和课外本科体验对转移完成和转移后调整，成功的可能性和目标的影响的影响。
