Introduction
The Foundation Coalition has expanded the concept of learning
communities to include involvement with industry and building
an appreciation for diversity within the students who participate
in the learning communities. Across the Foundation Coalition,
learning communities are increasing retention of students, especially
women and underrepresented minorities, and increasing the rate
at which students progress through the engineering curriculum.

Introduction
The Foundation Coalition has emphasized the importance of assessment
and evaluation in improving its restructured curricula since its
inception in 1993. Partner institutions have created instruments
that can be shared with other institutions. Other institutions can
also draw upon the expertise and experience gained through assessing
and evaluating numerous curricular innovations.
