This includes initiatives such as outreach programs for prospective engineeringstudents [1-3], summer bridge programs for transitioning engineering students [4-6], and mentoringprograms for current engineering students [4, 7, 8]. While engineering colleges typically share thecommon goal of improving recruitment and retention, the specifics of these initiatives cansignificantly vary across universities. This variation makes it difficult for practitioners (i.e., thoseinvolved in leading recruitment and retention efforts) to learn from other institutions and, morespecifically, successful practices are not always shared in a manner that facilitates benchmarking.Benchmarking is defined

In fact, the SE 2004 curriculum guidelines2 emphasize the needfor including professional practice in the education of software engineers.

Unlike traditional lab classes, CBWs are given to thestudents in a structured format that includes a challenge question and five step approach to guidethe students in the direction of both solving the challenge question and understanding theunderlying concepts. The challenge every week consisted of a hypothetical scenario intended tomake the students imagine they were engineers working in industry trying to solve a problem fortheir employer. Following the CBI technique, students work to solve the challenge question via researchand experimentation through a five step process: [1] The first step was to

We take that stance that interest development is the firststep for recruitment of students who otherwise might not consider engineering. Interestdevelopment is needed but insufficient for real change, as students who become interested butare poorly prepared are not likely to persist in engineering [1].
