TheCASCADE objectives include infusion of the design process for freshman through senior; anincrease of retention of engineering undergraduate students; and an increase in the 6-yearengineering undergraduate graduation rate. Strategies to achieve these objectives includeincorporation of design experience into targeted engineering courses at all levels; creation of aninnovative cascaded mentoring program; and linkage to the TAMUK Javelina InnovationLaboratory (JIL). This paper provides demographic data, retention and graduation rates.Preliminary numbers showing growth in retention and graduation rates are provided. The resultsdemonstrated that the design

To have a successful program institutional buy-in is critical, if it’snot supported from the top of the organization it is likely to fail. 8 Other factors that impact thesuccess of this type of program include:  Possible resistance from the institution’s English department, with concerns that English competency may be developed outside of the traditional Freshman English course. 9  The belief that writing skills are developed prior to attending college. 10  Increased
