ASEE Activities – 2YR-4YR Data Pilot

Supported by NSF (ENG-1042875) Long-term Goals were to contribute to

characterizing: Number of 2YR students enrolled in e/et programs Number of 2YR students who complete a assoc degree

vs those who directly transfer to a 4YR program Number of BS student who begin their study in a 2YR

program



Precursor step –looked at student data systems

Results: Sample of 8 2YR Asked numbers

and characteristics Most 2YR colleges

could not complete survey template



Results: Sample 17 4YR institutions 100% of 4YR maintain

demographic info on 2YR transfers

Only 70% of 4YR institutions maintain data on graduation rates, pre- & post-transfer GPA, etc.

Only 18% of 4YR institutions knew the students’ pre-transfer program of study



Policy Summit in June 2010 Broad representation Transfers vs. Natives Realistic financial aid Clearer articulation policies

and better course alignment



June 2010 Policy Summit Outputs: Data-driven policy making Focus on diversity retention as well as

recruitment Diversity includes more than gender, race,

ethnicity Support systems for transfer students Recognize different starting points of 2YR

students Recognize different goals of 2YR students


ASEE Activities – ATE PI GUIDE

ATE PI Guide –Site is devoted to providing current and prospective Pis with peer guidance on

Project Management, and

Change leadership

Through use of reality-based scenarios
