The FYE program was implemented inFall 2014 as an attempt to increase retention. After the first year of implementation, retentionsrates from freshman to sophomore rose by 14.6%.The FYE program has several different components, including a hands-on introductory course,peer mentoring and tutoring, exposure to the engineering disciplines on campus, and othersuccess initiatives.

While it is clearfrom these early results that early education in drafting and design has an impact on theviability of student gaining employment early in their academic career, further research isnecessary from both the student and the employer perspective. The information gatheredfrom both students and employers would be used to enhance an already rigorous programthat prepares students to enter the employment market with the most relevant andcompetitive knowledge of
