-centered pedagogies, where students are more active inthe learning process [6.7]. These methods have shown more promising student engagement and learningoutcomes [8].Despite these advances in pedagogical approaches, challenges remain in effectively reaching and engagingmore diverse student populations. A critical aspect often overlooked in these efforts is the integration ofstudents' cultural resources in their classroom teaching. The influence of culture on an individual’sengagement with new ideas is substantial, as it shapes both their exposure to and preparation for newinformation [9]. Additionally, culture is pivotal in determining the relatability of information presented tostudents [10,11]. For instance, a student’s willingness to engage or

One often overlooked aspect of FYE 1.0programs is how the introductory engineering courses relate within the curriculum tocomplementary courses (mathematics and science) in the first year as well as courses later in thecurriculum. The arrangement of these experiences – called curricular design patterns – canbecome bottlenecks to student progress [3]. For example, the ability to place into Calculus is asignificant predictor for completing an engineering degree [4], so introductory courses that relyon students being Calculus-ready, whether explicitly through prerequisite relationships [5] orimplicitly through instruction, can block students from progressing into fundamental coursessuch as Statics and Circuits.
