Texas A&M seems (at least in 2006) to be doing better at retaining their freshman engineering students. Do many other schools have a program similar to the their STEP program?

“Statistics collected by the Office of Institutional Studies and Planning show that the freshman retention rate has increased to 74.4 percent in 2006 as compared to 66.8 percent in 2001.”
