@nsula.edu Abstract The freshman year is critical for both academic success and retention of students in engineering and technology programs. There has been argument of considering student completion rates as a fundamental measure of success of the student or the institution. But the drop out of a student after first year of education is considered overwhelmly by the education community as a terrible waste of human and financial resources. Also because of phenomenon growth, sweeping changes of technologies and the economic globalization it is rewarding to focus our whole hearted effort to retention. That is why, the author has identified the related most important factors such as student
