difficulties caused by requiring students to enter calculus in their first semester have led tothe creation of several programs aimed at alleviating the hardship. One method presented byKlingbeil et al.3 reworks the curriculum to eliminate the need for calculus until the sophomoreyear through the addition of an engineering mathematics course. This solution does little toaddress the disparity among students and requires a multi-department, multi-college initiative toimplement. Thus, the implementation of this solution would be difficult at best. Anotherpopular method for addressing this issue is implementing a summer bridge program to eliminatedeficiencies in mathematical preparedness among incoming first-year students. These programsare a particularly

In a review of over 1,800 ABET EAC-accredited programs with anintroductory course sequence, Chen (2014) identified 1,651 engineering programs that offer a 2-term suggested introductory course sequence, representing 88% of the accredited programs witha first-year curriculum. Of those 1,651 programs, 16% require or recommend an engineeringcourse in the first term and 17% require an engineering course in the second term. Consideringall of the two-term institutions further, Chen determined that approximately 95% of engineeringcourse credit in those programs is mandatory for students to complete. The engineering coursescould be classified as “general

Studies in engineering retention have been influenced by factors from the collegeretention literature. These factors include pre-entry characteristics such as skills and abilities10,11family background12, institutional experiences13,14, and finances15. While research in collegeretention has focused on integration into the university, research in engineering retention hasfocused more on integration into the engineering culture16
