HistoryThe transition from high school to college can be difficult for many students, causing many todrop out of school. The first discussions of retention in higher education go back to the 1930s,but early research on this topic was focused mainly on why students fail instead of why theysucceed [1]. Vincent Tinto is credited with bringing this subject to the forefront and examiningother non-academic factors as to why students drop out of college [2]. Using this data, manyuniversities and colleges have implemented programs to assist students and improve retention,such as bridge camps, specialized introductory courses, tutoring and learning centers, andmentoring programs, to name a few [3]. Universities first started offering bridge camps overthree

1“Plug and Chug” of specification equations is not design. Letting students have thisimpression is doing them a huge disservice.Teaching is tricky business. How one teaches structural design has some particularly impactfulconsequences. Students expect to learn the specifications (or codes) but over emphasizing thecode may leave students without a deeper understanding of the mechanics and structuralbehaviors involved in structural design. There must be a balance between teaching the code andbehavior because many students likely have become programmed, trudging through many mathand science courses, to solve problems in a very methodical fashion of reading a prompt,recognizing the method or formula to use, and arriving at the single correct

Lewis, et al. [1]. In our implementation,we allowed student teams to choose from a bank of products and guided them through the fourphases of product archaeology (preparation, excavation, evaluation, and explanation). For theevaluation phase, each team developed and executed three or more qualitative experiments fortheir product. At the conclusion of the project, students wrote a report that addressed the fourphases of product archaeology, including the results of their quantitative experiments. Eachreport was graded using an
