2003 to 91.3% in 2006. The concentrated effortsaround high service programs and early academic engagement in engineering have beeninstrumental in assisting us in retaining freshmen students.IntroductionIn today’s environment of declining interests in engineering as a major for high school students,there is a need to be more creative and innovative in order to retain and graduate undergraduatestudents who choose to pursue engineering in college. The trend of “weeding out” engineeringstudents with only “the tough surviving” is a practice of the past. Instead, we need to implementprograms that are supportive and encourage students to succeed in all areas of engineering.Advocates for future engineering challenges agree that the continued success

The trend to do so is increasing dramatically. Accordingly, it is appropriate toreconsider how best to prepare engineers to exercise leadership in organizations as they evolveinto the future. Indeed, organizations increasingly need engineers to practice effective leadership,a workplace trend that is now embodied in ABET criteria for competencies among engineeringgraduates. An important benefit of exploring data-informed, data-influenced, and data-drivenleadership is to mitigate the common reluctance of engineers to embrace leadership opportunities.Specifically, this paper
