Workshop: The Integration of Technical Skills Within a First-Year EngineeringDesign and Innovation Course Featuring Hands-On ElectronicsSummary for the Conference Program:IntroductionOur college of engineering offers first-year engineering students an interdisciplinary hands-onproject-based engineering design course. The students learn several technical skills, such ascomputer-aided drawing and shop skills, as well as non-technical skills, such as team buildingand creativity. To facilitate the prototyping process, a curriculum has been developed to integratemore technical skills that are deemed critical. The first phase of the developed curriculum allowsstudents to experience 3D printing and laser cutting. Students learn how to design a

there are many reasons why students choose not to use skills that theyknow will improve their performance, in this workshop we will focus on a technique to increasestudents use of effective and efficient success skills.Low Cost—High Impact Success SkillsIn response to low retention rates and student performance, I have developed success skillsspecifically designed to augment curriculum and success courses and to be used by facultyteaching discipline related courses, i.e., these methodologies can be implemented anywhere. Themethodologies, grounded in current neuroscience, have been tested with over 1,000 students inengineering and other disciplines. These success methodologies are termed Low Cost—HighImpact success skills. By design, these
