We tracked their retention within the college of engineering as well as grades in coursesrelevant to first-year engineering (math, chemistry, physics, any FEP courses).While analyzing the data, we first grouped the students based on their math classes during theirfirst fall semester. Within these groups, we further divided the students according to their ACT-eligible math placements to distinguish between different math
