Abstract Utah Valley University (UVU) was awarded an NSF Scholarships in STEM (S-STEM) grant in 2014 to strengthen outcomes for students in computer science, software engineering, computer engineering, and electrical engineering through Leadership, Engagement, Academic Mentoring, and Preparation (LEAP). The LEAP project was completed in September 2021. This paper presents the impact of the program on the institution and its computing and engineering programs. Also, it presents the effect of the high-impact practices in this program in retention and completion of computer science and engineering students. High-impact practices reported on include Capstone Courses, Collaborative Projects, First-Year Experiences, Internships, Undergraduate Research, and Writing Intensive Courses.
