This lack of engineering-based experiences during the first yearsof students’ college experience may have a negative impact on retention, in that many studentslose interest and leave engineering during the first year, without understanding the importance ofrigorous training in math and physical sciences. Many universities have implemented innovativefirst-year programs to improve the retention[1].We started our first-year program six years ago by incorporating evidence-based practices thatprior work has shown to be effective [2

The National Academy ofEngineering [1] as well as various engineering professional societies highlight the importance ofleadership skills in engineering [2-6]. This trend is reinforced by the newly approved ABETCriteria for the 2019-20 review cycle that includes “the ability to function effectively on a teamwhose members together provide leadership … establish goals, plans tasks, and meet objectives”[7]. With these ABET changes come questions about how to assess leadership. Because theconversation among educators on developing leadership in engineering students is growing, thisresearch seeks to

It was also observed that neither traditional nor onlinehomework scores correlated well with exam scores; however, in-class quizzes did correlate withfinal exam scores.

Interpretations in the analytical memos were iteratively revised several timesthrough group discussions (Engle, Conant, and Greeno, 2007).
