Abstract
This paper presents a program funded by the Department of Education aimed at transferring and retaining highly motivated Hispanic students into our new Bachelors of Science in System Engineering Program at Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) in Laredo, Texas. TAMIU’s interest is not only in recruiting engineering students from both local high schools and the local community college, but also in retaining them so they graduate. The program consists of an articulation agreement between the local community college and the university to streamline the transfer of students receiving Associates in Arts degree and includes a set of summer engineering workshops aimed at retaining the college students so they eventually transfer into our program.
