In addition, the instructor will participate in new student orientation and advising, facilitate student participation in engagement activities, coordinate with pre-engineering advisors and department major advisors, collaborate with other college staff (recruitment coordinator, director of student engagement, and director of student access) to increase retention, and help monitor retention rates and other performance-based metrics.
