In addition, alumni provided a fresh perspective on how to approachengineering curriculum enhancement in light of expectations of contemporary employers. Thesefindings are important to consider when developing and/or re-designing engineering designcurriculum to account for industrial demands as of today.Introduction This paper is one in a series from an empirical research study and regards engineeringeducation and design theory, methodology and practical applications.

For example, Yoder [8] identified summer bridgeprograms as a best practice for retention in engineering. Pickering-Reyna [9] also showed thatstudents who participate in summer bridge programs are more likely to be retained in their major.Tomasko et al. [10] found that URMs who attended the summer bridge program had higher third-year retention rates in their STEM discipline in comparison with the general population of studentsadmitted to STEM majors at the same university. Strayhorn [11] reported that these programs wereespecially beneficial for low-income, academically underprepared students. Moreover, Brown [12
