The second column in Table1 indicates how the HIPs are incorporated in FEP curriculum. All FEP courses are First-YearSeminars, with other HIPs integrated across the courses to varying degrees. Some HIPs notincluded in FEP, like capstone courses, service learning and writing-intensive courses areintroduced later in the students’ academic careers in College of Engineering.Table 1.
