The pinnacle of the best practices is an integration ofthese various layers and an assessment plan that allows practitioners to make changes.There are two types of research that has been conducted on LLCs: those that compare acrossmultiple programs and those that focus on one particular program. Research comparing LLCsacross programs have shown that they can have a positive impact on first-generation participants'transitions to college [2]; increased sense of belonging in their college [3]; and increasedopenness to

, while inspired by the work of Butterfield and Branch [1] where freshman studentswere ‘hired’ by Capstone students, relied on integrating the Capstone Design course intochemical engineering courses occurring across the freshman-junior level. In the first iteration ofthe present work, technical aspects of the Capstone Design projects formed the basis for groupproblems that were assigned in two courses: Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer. In the seconditeration, the Capstone Design students gave a series of presentations to a first-year, introductorychemical and biological engineering course. Presentations focused on both the technicalcomponents of their design and safety considerations and societal impacts pertaining to theirprocess design. At

)Recommendations for strategies to improve persistence rates at the undergraduate level generallyare based on best practices that serve to answer the deficiencies cited above. A partial list ofthese improvements would include the following: smaller class size or discussion groups,creating hands-on design classes, improving advising, and interviewing practicing engineers.Implementing these best practices in a specific classroom is a challenge, not only to theindividual instructor, but also to colleges and departments as well. A particular challenge forSTEM teachers is to reduce what Seymour and Hewitt call “the chilly climate hypothesis,”namely a classroom atmosphere that causes attrition in STEM areas.One solution to this perception of a “chilly climate

Nearly 30 years ago, Edge and Friedberg6 reported that an algebra pretest and highschool rank were the best combination of predictors of success in a first calculus course. Thisresearch coincides with the long held belief of the faculty in the Department of EngineeringFundamentals that weak algebra skills are a stumbling block for students entering the program.So strong has been this conviction, that in the first two weeks of Engineering Analysis I algebraconcepts and functions are reviewed rather than beginning immediately with calculus concepts.

Survey of Student ExperienceAbstractThis paper is a report on evidence-based practice in a first year engineering program forMechanical Engineering Students. We adapted a year-long curriculum called Living with the Lab(LWTL) that uses a project-based, hands-on instruction to introduce students to engineeringfundamentals, programming, sensors, controls and engineering design. While adhering to thespirit and much of the content of the original curriculum, we added material, created newhands-on projects, introduced a flipped instructional model for the first course in the sequence,and experimented with an alternative final project model. We briefly describe our key innovationsto the LWTL curriculum.Introduction of this curriculum has coincided with

There is no doubt that these expectations arecritical for STEM majors who are entering the ever-changing, high-tech workforce as well asthose pursuing academic careers. In the Engineer of 2020 (2004), the National Academy ofEngineers (NAE) highlighted the importance of education that prepares students for a rapidlychanging, global, technologically advanced, and innovative workplace. In order to be successfulin such an environment the NAE outlined the characteristics of the future engineer. Amongthese characteristics are strong analytical skills, practical ingenuity, creativity, agility, andflexibility.Creative work in most disciplines is more than having eccentric or unique
