These issues have arisen primarily due to a gradual shift in demographicsof engineering versus engineering technology students, combined with higher requirements forentry into the new engineering programs brought about by the increased mathematical rigor. Thedepartmental focus on equity and inclusion mirrors a unified effort at the university and collegelevels, particularly relating to expanded access to majors that are in the highest demand (i.e.,predominantly STEM majors). To tackle these equity and inclusion issues, there are twodepartment-specific attrition points the program under study is designed to address: • To formally enter the engineering programs and to be able to graduate in 4 years, all admitted engineering

our economy depends on technological advancement,which requires a workforce that can be innovative and creative [1] and able to work in dynamicenvironments [2]. The need to prepare innovative engineers has led to research on adaptiveexpertise [2, 3], which focuses on the need for students to be on a trajectory where they are bothefficient (knowing something well and able to solve things fast) and innovative (able to applyknowledge to novel situations) [3]. To start students on a trajectory of adaptive expertise, we needto ensure they have a certain amount of domain knowledge and that this knowledge isremembered in such a way that allows for flexible application. This is an acute need in earlyengineering courses especially (e.g., Statics), as
