The model emphasizes that astudent’s experiences academically and socially with an institution influence their commitmentlevel, directly predicting retention. Figure 1 illustrates the significance of academic and socialintegration in the model. Tinto contends that varying levels of integration contribute to astudent’s decision to drop out.

As mentioned above, in the design curriculum, industry-sponsored and professor-drivendesign projects have become fairly commonplace, particularly in capstone design courses.Professor-driven projects are also valuable in that the design experience can be tailored greatly tocourse content and desired educational outcomes. Hence, as they are already integral to a givendesign course, these two types of projects (or three if you allow students to define their owndesign project,4 e.g., in a capstone design course) should ideally already address ABET designcriteria successfully—or at least make an attempt to do so.
