The core course courses as well as some elective courses requiredfor the engineering programs are offered through the Arts and Science Program (A & S).The six departments within A & S include Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Humanitiesand Social Sciences, Communication, and General Studies (See Figure 1).. Students musttake these required courses in a sequence. Figure 1.

Predictive ModelNext we seek to develop a statistical formula that will provide an estimate of a student’s time tograduation, in semesters, based on whether the student engages in some of the behaviorsanalyzed in this paper and in our earlier work: - Citizenship and residency status, - Whether the student will be a student-athlete at any time during their studies, - Whether s/he will receive a poor grade (D, F, or Withdrew), AP credit
