Herrin  \nindustrial and Operations engineering University of Michigan  \nABStrACt  \nWith the current concern over the growing need for more engineers, there is an immediate need to improve freshman engineering retention. A working model for freshman engineering retention is needed. This paper proposes such a model based on Tinto’s Interactionalist Theory. Emphasis in this model is placed on pre-college characteristics as predictors for student academic success and retention. Through a literature search of both engineering education and general empirical studies, a list of significant pre-college characteristics important for modeling freshman engineering student success and retention was developed. Significant differences were found between the engineering education and general empirical studies. The final model is described in terms of a block diagram with an extension to statistical modeling. Tables of empirical studies that have included pre-college characteristics as predictors for student success and retention are included. An application using data from a University of Michigan study is discussed.  \nKeywords: freshman engineering retention, student retention model  \ni. intrODUCtiOn  \nin the engineering education literature, a collection of empirical studies of engineering student retention has been presented. streveler and smith [1] brought to the attention of the engineering community the need for a theoretical basis for studies in engineering education. as an application of this need, a freshman engineering student retention model that encompasses most of these empirical studies is needed. this paper proposed such a model. the emphasis of this model is on the use of pre-college characteristics to predict first year academic success and retention.  \nwinter 2009 1  \nAdvAncES In EngInEErIng EdUcATIon A Model for Freshman Engineering retention  \neducators have proposed models of college student retention, of which the most tested and accepted is that of Vincent tinto [2] . Using tinto’s interactionalist theory as a basis, a model of engineering student retention will be [proposed. it](proposed. it) has a strong theoretical basis in education. this proposed model will take into consideration the significant differences between a general college education and that of an engineering education. in addition, the proposed model will include significant pre-college student characteristics for the prediction of student success or retention from a review of empirical studies.  \na model of engineering student success and retention is developed in this paper and is based on:  \nl a review of engineering education models and general education models  \nl a discussion of the differences between a engineering education and non-engineering education  \nl a review of engineering education and general empirical studies to establish a list of dominant pre-college characteristics important for student success and retention in engineering colleges  \nl a review of the characteristics needed by an engineering graduate based on The Engineer of 2020 [3]  \ntogether, the final model presents a literature-based model for freshman engineering retention. this model is applicable for first-time full-time freshmen entering engineering colleges. While it is intended as a model for freshman engineering retention, the model may well be applicable as a model for general college retention among freshman.  \nii.
