C. Cosentino 2014¶

C. Cosentino, M.D. Sulivan, N.T. Gahlawat, M.W. Ohland, R.A. Long. (2014). Black Engineering Transfer Students: What Explains Their Success?

q2 · i? · associational · r?

The comparative analysis of the updated longitudinal dataset reports that the two transfer-origin groups "differ on several key characteristics," naming gender, enrollment status, and six-year engineering graduation. No statistics for these differences are printed in the available text.

"transfers from two- versus four-year institutions differ on several key characteristics, including gender, full- versus part-time enrollment status, and education outcomes including six-year graduation in engineering"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Gender — predictor: outcomes differ by group: a gap reflecting circumstances and treatment, not a cause

Related Claims¶

• Black students in engineering are more likely to transfer from other four-year institutions than from two-year institutions — related
• Each tenth of a grade point increase in engineering GPA raises the odds of six-year engineering graduation for black students by 13.7 percent — related
• For two-year black transfer students, gender and engineering GPA—not transfer status—drive graduation outcomes, with black women outperforming black men — related
