Excerpt

A summer bridge program was developed in an engineering program to advance the preparation of incoming freshmen students, particularly with respect to their math course placement. The program was intended to raise the initial math course placement of students who otherwise would begin their engineering studies in courses below Calculus I. One reason given for low retention rates in this particular engineering program was that students needed to spend too much time taking math courses in college just to be ready to take the …
