When thestudents write and attempt to connect their knowledge/learning to their own interests, their storiesand experiences had far greater value than the instructor’s initial intent. Finally, with the studentsat the center and possessing an awareness of the differences in an instructor’s instruction andstudent’s retention, classes can be designed to make learning an enjoyable experience for bothstudents and instructors.IntroductionIn the present-day classrooms, students have access to multiple sources of information such as webcontent, videos, instructional

In other words, as the larger Y2 course moves more toward aninstitutionalized, standard, more factory-like model, we note the tradeoff in losing some of thebenefits that existed in the smaller implementation of the course as well as some surprising gains.As the size of the Y2 pilot is more realistic for any first-year course at a large public university,we share our lessons learned in the hopes of helping other designers of first-year programsponder the consequences of scaling up any course to fit the standard scale of larger

In the 2018 course, specific time was set aside to allow studentsto work on their own (with freedom to work anywhere on campus). These portions of time werespecifically designed to give students choices in how to manage their time.The course, which drew juniors and seniors from various local high schools, did not havespecific prerequisites. Thus, a fundamental challenge of the course was to incorporatedifferentiation into the curriculum delivery to meet the needs of a variety of skill levels.

Exam formats and expectations aredifferent than what students experienced in high school and vary from class to class. Engineeringmajors report spending a greater amount of time preparing for classes and exams [2]. Manystudents new to college report that they don’t know how to study and prepare for college exams[3], anecdotally reporting that in high school it was sufficient to simply read over notes. Mostnew students are also still building their support network of peers and may solely be studying ontheir own. Additionally, in many courses exams can comprise a significant portion of the finalgrade. Doing poorly on an exam can also have a

For example, writing about “engineering mindsets,” DonnaRiley suggests that the ways many engineers work to solve problems may serve to reproduceinequities [5]. The mindsets she describes are particularly troublesome when they preventengineers from taking ideas or perspectives different than their own seriously.As educators, we are particularly concerned about how privileging their own knowledge andexpertise at the expense of others may foreclose opportunities for future engineers to engagemeaningfully with stakeholders.

Math skills are recognized as essential tothe success of future engineers. However, other skills are integral to the engineering career path.Within industry, it is communication skills that often make or break careers. Technically capableengineers will find their careers stagnating without well-developed communication skills, which are anessential part of engineering work. In fact, it has been shown that engineers spend over half theirworking days (55-60%) communicating both orally and in writing [1]. When engineers were surveyedabout the most important

Such programs focus on recruitment [4], retention principles [5], persistence [6], as well as practices that help students with critical thinking [7]-[8], academics [9]-[10] and professional development [11]-[12]. The latter includes mentoring by faculty [13]-[14], peer mentoring [15], project-based learning [16]- [26], research experiences for undergraduates (REUs) [27]-[28], internships [29], preparing for graduate school [30], career planning [31], etc. We at Arizona State University’s (ASU’s) Fulton Schools of Engineering, have
