The restructuredPart I, by unanimous Faculty decision, remains a common program of eight x 15-pointcourses for all first-year students, one of which was required by University mandate to be aGeneral Education course. Each of the new 15 point courses would involve 10 hours ofstudent time per week with four hours formal contact time via lectures and tutorials,laboratory time where relevant, while the remaining time was self learning time for studentsto complete problem exercises, assignments and independent study.Four courses remained essentially unchanged, albeit with content reduction. These were thetwo-point courses Mathematical Modelling, Engineering Mechanics, Materials Science andElectrical and Digital Systems. The Design

She earned aNSF CAREER award and was nominated for Michigan Professor of the Year in 2014. Research within herMedical micro-Device Engineering Research Laboratory (M.D. – ERL) also inspires the development ofDesktop Experiment Modules (DEMos) for use in chemical engineering classrooms or as outreach activi-ties in area schools (see www.mderl.org). Adrienne is currently co-Chair of ASEE’s Diversity Committeeand PIC I Chair; she has previously served on WIED, ChED, and NEE leadership teams and contributedto 37 ASEE conference proceedings articles

Retention was considered over eight cohortyears revealing a first-year retention rate of 86% for those taking the FYEP course, compared to78% for those not taking the course. Retention to the senior year was 64% for FYEP students,compared to 54% for the rest. Although the graduation rate seems higher than the average, theydo have selective admittance into their engineering program.
