Likewise, in a 3-year long longitudinal study of18 four-year universities, Pascarella et al. [3] found that only academic (research experience,project based learning, etc.) and classroom activities have positive impact on student persistence.Interestingly, per their findings, other on-campus experience such as volunteer work,employment, and participation in inter-collegiate athletic experiences had a negative effect onFG students’ success in their academic performances.Similarly, higher education literature also reports that self-efficacy level among the FG studentsis lower compared to

The long-term goal of thisresearch is to produce a freshman engineering course for Lipscomb University that effectivelyprepares students for an engineering career through exposure to humanitarian projects with the aidof these partnering organizations. This redesigned course may also serve as an example for otheruniversities that wish to introduce human-centered design and service-learning projects forimproved student outcomes with respect to ABET standards. In this paper, best practices andlessons learned are presented from the first iteration of the redesigned course from fall 2017 aswell as proposed

while the world has experienced a growth in the number of institutions andprograms teaching engineering, graduate numbers are not increasing accordingly because of alack of qualified faculty, necessitating an emphasis on faculty development, especially at the entrylevel [2]. Reviewing the literature shows the prevailing philosophy regarding facultydevelopment is rather obvious. Faculty development is an ongoing process that should not stop atany level of an academic career, from new hire to a seasoned professor.
