ENCOURAGING TRANSFER STUDENTS TO PURSUE A BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE

摘要

The Maricopa Engineering Transition Scholars (METS) is a collaborative project to encourage community college students to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in engineering or computer science and also to support their transition and matriculation into a Bachelor's degree program. The project, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, and co-owned by the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering and the Maricopa County Community College District, holds events at the community colleges to interest and support students to study engineering. The program also helps the transition with an orientation program and provides a METS Center to help support the transfer student in the Fulton School. This paper gives a summary of the current use of the METS Center and how it is viewed by the transfer students who gather in it and use it.
