The program design was student-centered and reflectedthe rigors of engineering. The program design comprised these major components: 1. The director communicated early with the students who did not place into Calculus 1, which included an invitation to participate in the BEST Program. 2. The director met with students at summer advising and registration to talk about the BEST Program and answered any questions they had about their placement. 3. Students were encouraged to participate in an online asynchronous mathematics review over the summer. 4. Students were

Women working in Canadian engineering schools face similar challenges. Womenrepresented less than 17% of engineering faculty in 2019 [10] compared to 41% of all faculty ata national level [10

For example, grades influence thenumber of scholarships and types of financial assistance offered to students, with higher gradesyielding more financial support.
