Makale Özeti:

This study uses a unique synthesized set of data for community college students transferring to engineering by
combining several cohorts of longitudinal data along with transcript-level data, from both the Community
College and the University, to measure success rates in engineering. The success rates are calculated by
developing Kaplan-Meier survival curves measuring retention in engineering over time by grades received in
Calculus and Physics courses at both institutions. For each course, survival curves are compared to determine if
statistically significant differences exist between levels of grades received. The levels of course grades at which
statistically significant differences in retention rates exist are documented. To validate these findings the actual
graduation rates in engineering for the same groups of students are estimated using grades received in Calculus
and Physics. Policy recommendations based on these findings, including the best time to transfer for this group
of community college students, are incorporated.
