The final year consists of traditional capstone design projects, similar to those at mostaccredited programs.As noted in the previous section, retention can be improved by many different factors. One ofthe results of having a project course with professional skills every semester during the entiredegree program is that as students work in teams and present so that they get to know each otherwell and develop a community. As already noted, a community aids in student retentionthroughout the entire four-year sequence [4]. Particularly in the second year, more benefit isgained when a focus is placed on directing students toward their future careers and providingmentorship to aid their motivation to continue in
