Design in Engineering Education, First-Year Programs

Fawwaz HabbalPre-Collegiate Program Background and Direct ObjectiveAs new experiments and design-based projects are envisioned, they must be evaluated andassessed before they become part of the curriculum. Initially, we introduced such new items to asmall group of the Harvard College students, but as the demands for new experiments increased,it became difficult to have a thorough evaluation through the small sample of students. Wedecided to engage a different student body of diverse backgrounds by establishing a pre-collegiate program. This program attempts to prototype and develop multiple new activelearning initiatives before integrating them into the full curriculum. Indeed, the program becamea valuable platform to develop, to experiment, and

This cycle could be repeated as many times as the student wished, until they werehappy with the quiz score or until the end of the course.The other nine quizzes were taken in class, either in the presence of a proctor or the courseinstructor. Students could retry in-class quizzes, with a different question on the same topic,during a later class period or by scheduling an appointment with the instructor outside of classtime. Students could retry a quiz as often as they liked until the end of the course. Due to theinstructor being away from campus most of the semester, quiz retry appointments were onlyallowed during the last three weeks of the semester.A design project [22] was assigned to groups of 3 students.
