development and expanding awareness of opportunities. All of these activities have fostered a tight-knit learn- ing community and provided ample opportunities for peer mentoring and networking with alumnae. Because we focus on recruiting first-year students and retaining them through graduation, the program has grown from nine freshmen in the first year to over forty students now who range from fresh- men to seniors. Our recruitment efforts have become more successful as the program has grown which we attribute to the active involve- ment of current students in recruiting and a record of the programs accomplishments. Retention is higher than expected; moreover, re- tention rates are increasing. Students are excelling academically and

To meet thisobjective, the program provides students with: • a mentor team, • weekly engingeering seminars, • weekly career development workshops, • opportunity to participate in end-of-semester and end-of-year reviews, and • annual scholarship of $2,500 for two years.Below is a short description of the peer mentor teams, student demographics, engineeringseminars, career development workshops, and the review

This requires all of us to be able to tell prospective studentsand other stakeholders about the value our programs offer them. Finally, to tell the storypersuasively, we need to answer this question: “What value are we creating for students whochoose to attend our school, and to what extent is this value differentiated from other institutionsor departments offering similar programs?”The GREAT Environments Task Force placed an emphasis on practices

Design projects typically involve written and oral reporting onthe project (Harris & Jacobs, 1995). These writing assignments exist not only to contribute to thedevelopment of communication skills, but also to simulate industry practice. Design projectsalso often involve teamwork. This teamwork helps students to improve their communicationsskills. The National Academy of Sciences (1995) asserts that graduates of engineering programsmust be prepared to work in a global economy. Teamwork highlights the fact that

Not only will improving team skills increase students’ marketability but is provides anopportunity to improve the engineering learning environment for all students. This is possiblebecause the project team in engineering is becoming a major vehicle for student social andlearning interactions. Social interaction with peers and the influence of positive engineering classexperiences are major factors contributing to the persistence of junior and senior women inengineering and science programs [Brai98].
