One CC faculty member describesthe course to students in the following manner: I always tell them this is kind of a survey course. Each of these chapters that we look at, each of these modules and units could be a course unto themselves.CC and COE faculty agreed that one of the purposes of the FYE courses is to prepare studentsfor a career in engineering. The means of achieving this

skills in their application to engineering design solutions. Also,for these future engineering students to be successful in their careers they need to understandhow to prepare their resume, interview well, obtain an internship, and work in the industry ondiverse, interdisciplinary teams, while making an ethical impact with their work.Through the design projects in the course, students are exposed to industry sponsored projects, aswell as have a chance to present their work alongside the seniors at the Michigan StateUniversity Design Day. These opportunities prepare students for their future professional career,but also emphasize the importance of working well with other and maintaining grit and resiliencein the face of adversity [5], [6].Course

, and Readiness for Engineering andTechnology (GEARSET) Program is to enhance the student learning, academic pathways,academic performance, professional preparation, retention, and graduation of low-income,academically talented (LIAT) students aspiring to engineering careers. By recruiting a diversepool of students with demonstrated academic talent, and by facilitating a pathway to engineeringand technology majors for students who must first complete required pre-engineering courses,we also seek to increase the equity and diversity of the institution’s College of Engineering. Theproject will contribute to the existing knowledge of the impact of financial aid, mentoring,academic support, and professional development on the engineering career

In the application problem, students clearly showed the value ofinvolving the customer multiple times in the EDP, in iterative design-and-improve cycles. Thefurther reflection questions in the survey indicated that the students were able to understand EMconcepts, make actionable and effective plans to apply EM both in their upcoming courses orside projects, and their future career as engineers.IntroductionGamification is an interactive way to promote active learning, especially in an online classroom.It has been tried in a variety of scenarios in engineering education and otherwise [1-3].

In addition, taking a lead in the public domain by seeking to influence public policy positively. Critically, the report calls for engineers to be informed leaders in sustainable development. Moreover, it notes that this influence “should begin in our educational institutions, and be founded in the basic tenets of the engineering profession and its actions”.
