Retention improvements are consistent with the goals of the Engageto Excel report, which strategizes how to produce 1 million additional graduates with degrees inSTEM10.It is also important to note that while instructors may try to adopt evidence-based teachinginnovations, the quality with which they implement the innovation may vary significantly andtherefore may not result in improved student

]. Multiple studies have reported that high attrition rates can beattributed to teaching and advising [3, 4], curriculum and coursework [5], and lack of feeling ofbelonging in these engineering programs [6, 7]. Despite efforts at the post-secondary level suchas incorporating active learning [8], revamping the course curriculum [9], and stressing theimportance of mentoring and advising [10], attrition rates remain high [11]. Underlying many ofthe observed issues at the post-secondary level is insufficient mathematical preparation in highschool.

Forinstance, a series of biweekly group assignments, designed to assess and improve the three pillarsof engineering communication are woven into the project-based curriculum, culminating with afinal project exhibition and written reflection.
