first year retention rate of 86%is comparable to the entire entering cohort of 2013, despite the higher risk of attrition in thispopulation of students. The first year retention rates for the summer bridge program cohorts of2011 and 2012 were 85% and 86%, respectively. Therefore, there does not appear to be a majorshift in retention as a function of this course revision. First year retention data for theSummerStart students of 2014 is not yet available. At the start of their second semester, all 25participants were still officially enrolled in the College of Engineering and Computer Science.However, three of these students are no longer taking courses towards their engineering orcomputer science degree, indicating that they plan to transfer out

partners to integrate manyof these activities in order to provide more professional practice skills beyond traditionalengineering education to our students. We believe our recent success in fostering sustainedindustrial partnership is the direct result of the following practices:  Proactive recruitment: selecting partners who have long-term interest to affiliate with the program and replacing inactive members through normal attrition.  Relevant engagement: involving partners with activities that have potential impacts on the program and providing them with a well-planned agenda so they feel full engaged and take ownership of the affiliation.  Steady leadership: selecting and retaining strong leaders who understand

, have similar results. This allows us to increase our data set and tounderstand if these methods are more generally applicable to a range of courses and under whatconditions. Our second direction, which we have learned might be the most important part of thiswork, is how should the criterion map be created? Even though our results seem to show positiveresults, we suspect that the criterion map is fundamental in this process. For example, if the termsin a field are highly connected (larger degree) then does this make it easier or harder for a student.Also, how does the timing of when the terms are presented in the course impact the longitudinalstudy. Our plan is to use this new metric in these studies and to try and answer these questions forthe

For the results reported here, we compiled a list of 37 words that are often vague, absolute, unnecessary or inaccurate, based on previous analysis of student papers and faculty input. Occurrences of the words were examined in context. For example, you is accurate when referring to the reader (e.g. closing a technical memorandum to a client with It was a pleasure serving you) but inaccurate when it does not refer to the reader (e.g. Using the graph, you can calculate...). In the future, we plan to expand the list. (Other language features with other analyses are used in the project but are not included in this paper.) 3. Holistic
