Workshop Summary2.1 Experiences from First-Year Courses Topics One of the goals of the workshop was to share experiences from college-wide first year engineeringcourses at Virginia Tech. First-year engineering courses are required of all engineering freshman (~1,500/ year) at Virginia Tech with the purpose of introducing engineering students to the profession, datacollection and analysis, mathematical modeling, problem-solving, software tools, design, professionalpractices, communication, teamwork, ethics and the diversity

These skills include leadership, decision making, trust building, and conflict management.  Monitoring Progress- Groups need to discuss amongst themselves whether they are achieving their set goals; they also need to prioritize the scheduled activities, introduce changes if need be, solicit advice and assistance with the consent of the instructor, and maintain effective working relationships among the members. Instructors also monitor group progress, give feedback on how well each group is doing, report each group’s progress to the class as a whole, and insure adherence to accepted standards of: ethics, social responsibility, and safety.Success
