SAT scores are invited to participate during summer orientation and canvoluntarily enroll in the program as they begin their studies in the fall. Clemson’s approach ismore comprehensive than previous initiatives at other institutions, offering a holistic experiencewith several innovative components. Key elements of the program include grouping students intocohorts for their STEM courses during the first year, co-enrolling them in a learning strategiesand professional skills course, and creating a long runway for the first-year engineering sequence[7]. The GELC aims to enhance student retention in engineering majors while developingstudents' skills for future careers as engineers. To further support these objectives, an engineeringmath course
