engineering colleges are implementing First-Year Engineering (FYE) programs whichhave a common first year curriculum (e.g., Calculus, Physics) required for new engineeringstudents before they transition to their desired major (e.g., civil engineering, mechanicalengineering, aerospace engineering). FYE programs serve thousands of students a year includingnew students and students transferring from other institutions or another academic discipline intoengineering. The FYE program helps these students develop a common knowledge base and skillset needed to progress and persist through their desired engineering degree program.At an institutional level, many universities are prioritizing active learning and student success,but few are doing so at the broad
