shifts in emphasis over the years, animportant one being the 1950’s government funding of fundamental, as opposed to “applied”research; with a subsequent (further) shift away from hands-on experiences and towardsengineering science as the curriculum core [1]. Heavy loading of first year programs with mathand science has implications for persistence and recruitment of global learners [2] and certainunderrepresented minorities such as females [3]. Felder and Brent [4] caution against a “trustme” approach to education in which students may have to persist for months or years before theysee why what they’ve been taught is important. The proposed case-studies move instructionfrom deductive to inductive [5], with the goal of deeper retention and

industry. Dominant first year engineering programs create team-based fundamental engineering courses to develop students’ ability to work in a team. Thenumber of foreign students studying at American higher educational institutions is consistentlyincreasing and they possess unique cultures influencing the study and experience of domesticstudents. In this study, we focus on teamwork and peer assessment behaviors of multi-culturalteams as compared to domestic [U.S.] teams in a large Midwestern first year engineeringprogram. Our research question is: do teams containing one or more international student(s)have, on average, different peer rating behaviors from teams containing only domestic students?We find significant peer evaluation differences in

To investigate the advantages and disadvantages of each of the coursepathways, further investigations can be conducted using student data. Reid, et al. [8] introduces ataxonomy which classifies introductory to engineering courses (classified as general engineeringin this paper). Moreover, future studies can use taxonomies like this to investigate FYE pathwaysbased on their course content and not only the course titles. V. REFERENCES[1] M. K. Orr, C. E. Brawner, S. M.

During this challenge, instructors lead studentsthrough the problem definition, customer needs identification, concept generation, conceptselection, prototyping, and iteration phases crucial to engineering design. In the course’s currentform, these steps are further augmented by the inclusion of six educational modules (“World ClassEngineer,” “Professional Communication,” “Innovation Process,” “Making,” “Seeing the BigPicture,” and “Grand Challenges”). However, as the modules were created after the majority ofinstructors had established their preferred design project(s) for the first 8 weeks, the

SCLC further strengthens thelearning community built in the SSBP.Monthly Socials: To strengthen the learning community, 3 to 4 monthly socials throughout eachsemester will allow students to interact with invited professionals and upperclassmen in aninformal setting.

The pre-survey responses were checked to see if customer wasmentioned in their visual representations. For the post reflection, the number of reflections inwhich customer was mentioned was counted and a few specific themes were identified.In the pre-survey, only one out of the thirty one participants mentioned customer and thisparticipant indicated that s/he had been exposed to the concept of engineering
