摘要

鉴于黑人本科生在社区大学人口中所占的比例很大,通过转学途径扩大黑人本科生参 与工程学学习的潜力是相当大的。本研究旨在探讨从社区学院转入四年制工科专业的黑人学生如何描述影响他们转学过程的机构因素。我们从一项为期三年的定性研究中汲取了数据,这些数据来自于对这些本科生的访谈和焦点小组。受访者表示,他们受益于提供工程学转学相关资源的支持性机构代理,其中包括他们所在的少数民族服务社区学院(MSCCs)的教师和顾问,以及四年制院校工程学院的顾问。此外,受访者还介绍了他们参与的一些社区学院项目,包括一些为黑人大学生提供转学资 源的项目。然而,一些受访者分享了在转学过程中出现的问题,包括不得不自行浏览令人困惑的转学网站,或自我辩护以解决错误的录取决定。我们还建议采取一种系统层面的方法,将社区学院和四年制院校结合起来,同时还要考虑到学生可能遇到的与资源和权力动态相关的问题。

Through their eyes: Understanding institutional factors that impact the transfer processes of Black engineering students

Through their eyes: Understanding institutional factors that impact the transfer processes of Black engineering students

Background

The potential for broadening participation in engineering among Black undergraduates via transfer pathways is considerable, given their large share of the community college population. By understanding the opportunities and challenges presented within the context of transfer, this potential can be realized.

Purpose/hypothesis

The goal of this study is to explore ways in which Black students who transitioned from a community college to a 4-year engineering program describe the institutional factors affecting their transfer processes.

Design/method

Drawing from a 3-year qualitative research study involving approximately 27 Black engineering transfer students at a large, predominantly White, institution, we present data derived through interviews and focus groups with these undergraduates.

Results

Participants expressed that they benefited from supportive institutional agents who offered engineering transfer-related resources. These included both faculty and advisors in their mostly Minority Serving Community Colleges (MSCCs) as well as advisors from the engineering college at the 4-year institution. In addition, respondents described being part of a number of community college programs, including some for Black collegians, that offered resources for transfer. Nonetheless, some participants shared problems that emerged during the transfer process, including having to self-navigate confusing transfer websites or self-advocate to resolve erroneous admissions decisions.

Conclusions

We suggest a need to elevate MSCCs as learning environments that can produce future Black engineers. We also recommend a systems-level approach that brings together community colleges and 4-year institutions while also accounting for issues related to resources as well as power dynamics that students may encounter.
