This paper continues the description of building a new first-year engineering (FYE) program at the University of Kentucky. We start with a brief history of the program, the first year of the program, and move into recently reviewed data from both students and faculty. We feel that this is of interest to the community as we have captured perceptions from across the college before and after the program implementation.
