until shortly before the bridge programwould have been scheduled to run. In 1993 - 94, when the annual funding for the program wasconfirmed only two weeks before the bridge program should have started the director requestedpermission from the New York State Department of Education to use the funds allocated to thesummer bridge program to fund a summer research experience for returning students instead.The advantage to this being that the program could be offered in May and June at the end of thefiscal year rather than in July and August at the beginning. In this way there would be sufficienttime to plan a quality experience once the funding was certain. Although the target audiencewould be returning students rather than entering students the

Using German as an example, this paper will outline how students can both stay on-trackin their engineering curriculum and gain valuable work and study abroad experience in thesummer which will help them in their job search and in their careers beyond graduation.Programs discussed will include RISE (Research in Science and Engineering) of the DAAD(German Academic Exchange Service), in which students receive paid fellowship positions inuniversity doctoral laboratories, CDS (Carl Duisberg Society), in which students work in paidinternships in offices in their field at companies such as Porsche and Siemens, and ICE(International Cooperative Education), in which students complete paid

Additionally, the study provides the ability to track an individual student overtheir entire undergraduate education. The correlation between the faculty approach to attendanceand success will be discussed in this paper in detail.IntroductionIt is a continuing expectation among educators that students should attend class. It is assumedthat a student will not progress in knowledge and understanding of a course topic without beingin attendance to benefit from the classroom experience.
