summer bridge program for engineering (STEP).After STEP was implemented, the number of students starting in Calculus I, increased fromvirtually zero to between 30 and 40%. Nevertheless, students continue to struggle in Math andPhysics. On average, students fail Calculus I and Calculus II at a rate of 35% and 40%,respectively. In the case of physics, the rate of DWFs are 30% and 40% for Physics I and II,respectively. Consistent with engineering education literature, the poor performance infoundation courses has led to low retention and graduation rates. In the Fall/2015 semester, ECST implemented a new First-Year Experience(FYrE@ECST) program (Menezes, Won, Tufenkjian,M.,Allen,E., & Schiorring, 2017) fundedthrough a grant from the
