Abstract
We have briefly discussed several recently implemented programs for improving the retention and graduation of engineering students at UTSA. The strategies discussed include the implementation of "Just in Time Mathematics" course for the newly admitted engineering students, which is discussed in more details. The primary objective for JITM is to help prepare students for the basic engineering courses during their freshman year. Our initial assessment indicates a substantial improvement in the retention rates among JITM cohorts in comparison to the traditional cohorts.
