Develop technological currency in the student body.The first priority was identified as the most important with the other two priorities to be carriedout with an eye toward the first. A couple challenges affect the primary goal. First, unlike mostU.S. research institutions with a seperate college of engineering, CSE grants degrees in thephysical sciences, math, computer science, and engineering. Students in science and math areless encouraged by their course curriculum to seek out the use of design and prototypingresources so those students need additional programming and attention if the Anderson Labs is tomore closely reflect the diversity of the college as a whole. Second, the primary space is locatedin the Mechanical

The purpose of pilot study is to evaluate first-year engineering student’s technical confidence and to begin understanding how they experiencetechnical aspects of a hands-on open-ended physical computing design project. A mixed-methodapproach was utilized to explore freshmen (n = 51) learning experiences with the technology andtinkering aspects of the communication and introduction to engineering design course. Atechnical problem-solving and tinkering self-efficacy instrument developed by Baker et al.(2015) was used pre and post to assess changes in student’s technology self-efficacy.

industry drives an increasingly diverse populationin terms of majors, interests, and experiences towards introductory and advanced courses (Foster, et al., 2018;Erdil, et al., 2019). A thoughtfully-designed survey course can balance the needs of various subgroups andrealize the potential to influence students’ attitudes and beliefs, develop career intentions, and teach coreconcepts.A first-year integrated college curriculum has been a common practice across many engineering and sciencedisciplines for years (Cordes, et al., 1997; Bazylak & Wild, 2007). In these approaches for common curriculumdesign, all those first-year students admitted to programs of study in engineering, technology, applied sciencesand other related fields are offered

It is a portable,inexpensive, but highly useful hardware platform, which recreated a classroom or laboratoryenvironment e.g. at home. When coupled with the Mobile Studio Desktop software, the systemduplicated a large amount of the hardware often used to teach electrical engineering, computerengineering, physics and K-12 technology-oriented courses.There was a lot of refinement of the project through pilot studies and subsequent results showedthat the use of personal electronic instruments increases the level of student engagement andmotivation [2], [3].

These experts came frombackgrounds such as History, Science and Technology Studies, and an NSF officer associatedwith changemaking in engineering efforts. However, bringing in these guest authorities wasimplemented through workshops which had low faculty turnout. Within their interviews, facultydid not mention the workshops and the leadership team postulated that even with an engineeringbackground, these authorities were not
