New summer program gives rising engineering sophomores a jump start

“The college’s retention data shows we have some work to do,” said Amy Freeman, assistant dean of engineering outreach and inclusion in the college. “Only 59 percent of students who start as engineering majors complete all four years of their studies at University Park and graduate with an engineering degree. (Many do go on to other majors.) That statistic is typically lower for the 2+2 program students — those who transfer to University Park after two years at a Commonwealth Campus. One of the reasons is that there are fewer resources designed to assist these students in making the transition and building a strong learning community once they arrive at University Park. In the College of Engineering, we are trying to change this by helping students build this community before they arrive."
