The campus has been under development since 1987, buthas seen the most significant growth in the last decade. The College of Textiles was the firstcollege to be located on Centennial, moving into a four-building complex in 1991. This Collegeis made up of two departments, with 50 faculty and approximately 1,000 undergraduates and 100graduate students. The College of Engineering, with nine departments, 333 faculty, 5,900undergraduate students and 2,800 graduate students, has been moving over in stages since 2004.At present, three of five planned engineering buildings are open, with six of the nine departmentspermanently located on the

designed to address the issue of retention, inparticular, the retention of underrepresented student groups. Change Chem emanates from asituated perspective on learning and involves the application of cognitive apprenticeship as thetheoretical framework. It uses collaborative problem-based learning with model-elicitingactivities to transform the discussion section of general chemistry to better retain students whoare engineering majors. It is theorized that the rich context of everyday engineering will helpstudents to see themselves, their interests and those of others in their learning activities. By betteridentifying with the practice of an engineer, persistence with difficult coursework is more likelyand intentional. Building on a successful
