Course to Make Informed Design DecisionsAbstractIn this complete evidence-based paper, it will be shown how computer simulations can beintroduced in a freshman mechanical engineering course and how students can use computersimulations to make informed design decisions. Freshman-level engineering students may haveinsights about the workings of mechanical systems even though they may not be versed in themathematical descriptions of such systems. The motivation for this work is three-fold: (1) allowfreshman students to apply and expand their insights into mechanical systems without the needfor mathematical descriptions which they may not yet be prepared to understand; (2) exposestudents to computer simulations at an early stage of their curriculum

collaborationcentered extra-curricular resources can improve the project experience for first-year engineeringstudents.Background and Motivation First-year engineering education and its impact on student retention, culture, andexperience is an important topic to current educators trying to improve university levelengineering education. Persistence in an engineering program is directly related to the first-yearexperience [1]. The first-year curriculum and surrounding environment are essential componentsto providing students with points of both learning and discovery that will ultimately impact theirdecision to stay within their chosen path [1]. Although the engineering path may not be the bestpath for every student, there is a serious concern over

The time requirement is selected such that the mentors are thorough in the content.Since the First-Year Engineering curriculum is revised continuously to improve the quality andrigor, it is critical to have mentors who know the material well. Once the prospective candidatesfor mentoring are determined, an email invitation is sent to all the qualified students prior to thebeginning of the semester. Interested students respond back with their interests and availabilityand are then hired as peer mentors. Usually, the mentors are compensated for the mentoringwork

difficulty.One tool for promoting first-to-second year undergraduate student retention is the use of a first-year seminar [5]. Most first-year seminars take place in small, discussion based settings and theyconsist of curricular and co-curricular topics that are designed to help students integrate bothacademically and socially into college life [6]. Due to the high number of credit hours requiredfor students in the GVSU School of Engineering, the first year curriculum is being reviewed toidentify how to include a mandatory first year seminar in the program plans. Rather than waitingfor the planning and approving of a fist year seminar, the learning skills modules wereimplemented in an Introduction to Engineering course during the Fall 2018 semester.The

Much workremains to be done.EpilogueWe made some changes in spring 2019 to the sequence of activities in the course described inthis study. The faculty implementing these activities are doing so because the activities havebeen integrated into the common curriculum for this course. After some discussions with thefaculty at the end of fall 2018, we moved the panel of engineers to the second course in this first-year engineering series. The faculty felt the content of this activity was a better fit with thecurriculum in the second class. Also, this second class only had three grant related activities
