Survey of first-year programs

To assess the current status of first year programs, two surveys of first year programs in engineering were circulated through the ASEE Freshman Programs Division (FPD) listserv. The first survey was sponsored by the FPD, and the second survey was sponsored by the NAE Center for the Advancement of Scholarship on Engineering Education (CASEE). Participation in the surveys involved 91 institutions in the FPD survey and 49 institutions in the CASEE survey.
