The Core Retention Program (CRP) is designed to address the critical transitions that occur:

1. As continuing students (often in their third year) encounter their first upper division engineering courses and
2. As incoming transfers adjust to the School of Engineering and enter the upper division engineering courses.

The key components of CRP are:

Summer BREES - Three week summer program to welcome transfers into the CEED community and prepare students for upper-division core engineering courses.

Pathways to Success - Workshops and activities focused on the academic, personal and professional development of students.

Academic Excellence Workshops - Collaborative problem-solving workshops in core engineering courses.
