-facilitated workshop.To address the question and test the hypotheses above, the project focus is to develop: 1. a virtual, open-access peer-facilitated workshop experience, and 2. asynchronous, interactive material that is part of a virtual community of learners.For this work, interactive is defined as the ability for the user (student) to receive feedback ontheir work and ask questions. Figure 1 outlines the logic model for developing an open-accessand interactive peer-facilitated workshop in the context of a first-year engineering course. Thetarget population for the proposed intervention is first-year students enrolled in the second-semester first-year engineering course for Fall 2022 and Spring 2023. While the opportunity toparticipate will

Research Experience program that supports entering students in research andinnovation clusters during their first three semesters of college [3]. This program invitesparticipants from the middle-tier of the entering class. The students have a semester of learningbasic research skills and about different multidisciplinary research streams (topic areas), beforeselecting one of those streams. In the stream, they work in teams to define a research question orhypothesis and begin the work. Some students may be awarded summer internships and/orcontinue the projects into their third semester.When a new dean was hired in 2020, the new leadership team and others in the college beganrevising the most recent strategic plan and developing action plans for
