Abstract
The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has participated in the NSF/Gateway Engineering Education Coalition since its inception in 1992. Through this program, NJIT has improved its undergraduate programs and engineering education, both in quantifiable ways and through culture changes within the institution. By incorporating design work in the freshman year through its Fundamentals of Engineering Design courses, NJIT has significantly improved its student retention and 6-year graduation rates for engineering students. Currently, NJIT is working with New Jersey's community colleges to incorporate some of these innovations into their curricula, reaching beyond the boundaries of the Gateway Coalition.
