AB  -              Making a connection with students: Day one is importantAbstract:The objective of this paper is to emphasize the need to establish a strong first impression in theclassroom for students’ successful learning experience and their retention in the curriculum.Teaching is an art that every instructor should master in order to help students learn efficiently andapply that knowledge in real world applications. Undergraduate students are very enthusiastic andeager to learn new concepts in a well-structured learning environment. In this paper, the authorsinvestigate a freshman course of ET 1210: Introduction to Metals and Metallurgy as a baselinemodel in order to identify the need for making the connection with students on day one andproviding guidelines to New Engineering Educators to successfully implement teaching practicesthat include use of modern technology, course redesign, grade distributions, and pedagogicaltechniques. The authors also report student evaluations and performance data and correlate themto the improved teaching practices adopted by a new faculty member, who was mentored by asenior faculty member and the department chair. The feedback and suggestions received from thementors are also presented in this paper. The outcomes of this study over a period of threesemesters emphasize on: (1) connecting early with students, (2) using adequate modern technologyto assist classroom teaching, (3) giving timely feedback to students, and (4) identifying clearexpectations. In addition to the aforementioned measures, the new faculty member made extraefforts by meeting with students struggling in the course and assisted them with one-on-onetutoring. Authors believe that the findings of this study will help New Engineering Educatorsidentify the Do’s and Don’ts of best teaching practices.Keywords: new engineering educators, best teaching practices, feedback, course redesign
