The Introduction to
Engineering Program
The
|
Background |
As part of the Gateway
Engineering Education Coalition, The IEP program is a set
of two courses (Engineering 181 & Engineering 182) that is required for
all entering engineering students.� To
enroll in the first course, a student must be enrolled in calculus or
pre-calculus.� Preliminary longitudinal
tracking shows that ~90% of the students who take the IEP sequence in their
freshman year are registered for their sophomore year.� Tracking also shows that 82% of the
students who took the program in 1999 are still registered in Engineering for
Autumn 2001.� Past retention figures
showed that only 50% of the freshmen actually enroll for their junior year in
Engineering. |
