college’s six-year graduaterate was 15% lower than the university as a whole, with the biggest drop in retention occurringbetween the first and second year (30%). The E2 bridge camp was one of several initiativesimplemented as part of the NSF-funded STEP project targeting first-year students to increaseengineering student persistence to rates closer to those of the university as a whole [7]. The goalsof this camp were to give students hands-on experience with the engineering design process;introduce them to campus resources; and connect them with faculty, staff, and peers.The principle investigators of the STEP grant decided that the best way to increase retention atthe college level was to make the bridge camp open to all first-year students.

This ASEEretention project collectively invited around 60 universities to share their perceptions on thistopic and, specifically, asked for a focus on exploring the best practices and strategies forretaining students in Engineering, Engineering Technology and Computing programs [1, 2]. Themain focus of this study is to find the reasons why 40 to 50% of engineering freshmen had eitherswitched or withdrawn from the engineering major. The study indicated that it is mainly due topoor teaching and advising, difficulty of the engineering curriculum, and lack of “belonging”within engineering [2, 3]. Furthermore, these
