While thepaper endeavors to describe the program, various quantitative and qualitative metrics arepresented which support assessment of the efforts. The main focus of the present work is todiscuss these elements of the program, and highlight student performance through the lens ofengineering vs. non-engineering students in the program. While first year programs specificallyfor engineering students may be valuable, there could also be value in analyzing the impact ofnon-STEM oriented programs on engineering students’ retention and success.

Martin acknowledged a trend in computing education where most software thatstudents write for programming assignments “never see the light of day.” Consequently, Martinargued that “toy projects” that have no real customers or use outside of the classroom areharmful [8].Likewise, Nurkkala and Brandle assessed common gaps between common software engineering“toy projects” and real software practice, explaining: A student project is just that—a project. It is not a product in any meaningful, commercial sense. Such a nonproduct escapes the scrutiny of sales, marketing, and customer relations.

Smaller companies, on the other hand, arevery concerned about the big university somehow cheating them out of what is rightfully theirs.Most universities, by law, are the owners of the intellectual properties for everything developedat the university. On the other hand, when a company pays for a project to be done at theuniversity it expects to own the intellectual property that resulted from the work. This oftencreates a major problem in signing contracts. Even worse, are problems that can result after theproject is done if both sides do not negotiate

These three main themes will be discussed in thissection.The concepts of sustainability and institutionalization are interrelated but there is a difference(s).Sustainability of a program can be achieved with external funding and no institutional support.Institutionalization is achieved when the university makes a
