Abstract :
The common first semester and a required interdisciplinary engineering course open to nonengineering students have since 1988, helped stablize engineering enrollment at Bucknell as the pool of available students remains significantly smaller. The course and a policy change that allows first-year students to enroll as engineering undecided have created an environment in which significant numbers of arts and sciences students transfer into engineering and students transferring out of engineering seem more confident about their abilities and plans
