Walz, Kenneth A.; Christian, Jon R. – American Journal of Engineering Education, 2017
Capstone engineering design courses have been a feature at research universities and four-year schools for many years. Although such classes are less common at two-year colleges, the experience is equally beneficial for this population of students. With this in mind, Madison College introduced a project-based Engineering Design course in 2007.…

John Fink; Taylor Myers; Daniel Sparks; Shanna Smith Jaggars – Research in Higher Education, 2024
Using administrative data from nearly 270,000 transfer-intending students who began at 70 community colleges across three state systems, this paper seeks to identify a set of metrics that will be useful to community college leaders as they formatively assess their colleges' efforts to improve STEM transfer outcomes. We find that a relatively…
