Eachfaculty member introduces their area of expertise to the group and then students are split intothree groups representing the different concentrations: Agricultural Engineering, BioprocessEngineering, and Ecological and Environmental Engineering together. Students learn morespecific information about the concentrations, including the future courses they will take andcareer opportunities, and can ask questions to faculty working in that concentration area.Until 2022, there was no linkage between the problems used as programming assignments andthe degree concentrations they represented. We hypothesized that structured course assignmentsthat specifically highlight

The study compares the studentswho participated in ECP, using various measures of engagement, motivation, cognitive processes,and collaborative learning experiences between spring 2022 and fall 2023. A well-developed andvalidated instrument, the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), was adoptedfor this study, as well as a self-developed questionnaire to measure students’ engagement duringthe implementation of pedagogy. The study contributes to the current understanding of the efficacyof ECP in enhancing learning outcomes. The study found a sustained level of cognitivedevelopment and motivation among the students, but there was a decline in peer learning andcollaboration. It provides

We plan to use our exit surveys togauge student reaction to the new model and compare results from surveys of previous cohorts.We are also navigating some institutional limitations on how nomenclature related to advisersand mentors. Currently, in our student information systems, there exists definitive roles foradvisers that can be mapped and connected to students. However, there is no category for facultymentors. Hence, in official student records, there is no connection between the student andfaculty mentors.
