-based and hands-on course activities inthe first-year and integrating engineering design. Makerspaces have become a valuable tool forteaching the engineering design process. They provide students with an opportunity to focusmore on building, testing, and evaluating their design. Makerspaces also provide more creativeopportunities for engineering design projects through rapid prototyping electronics and additivemanufacturing. For some students in the first-year this can seem like a daunting task, particularlywhen they are working alongside senior design capstone teams and graduate researchers in amakerspace. This first-year introduction to engineering and design course added several aspectsto the course to guide and support students through

their second-semesterpoverty alleviation project, as quality preparation for their senior capstone projects. Notably,students largely did not identify any other courses as being directly connected to their first-yearcoursework. This was unexpected since, to an extent, several of the first-year course activitieswere developed to familiarize students with subsequent courses (e.g., circuits and staticscalculations). However, these activities were relegated to a somewhat cursory overview, and asnoted by two students, there was not enough “technical content” in the first-year courses toprovide benefit, particularly since this content was reviewed at the beginning of future courses.Moreover, while three total participants later recommended that
