lectures and recitation focused on projectdevelopment and project management skills. From a grant provided in 1993 by the National Science Foundation, New YorkUniversity’s EG 1003 was created with learning objectives on project management, teamwork,technical communication, engineering experiments, and design. 300 students per semester, or 82percent of first-year students in the college of engineering enroll in EG 1003. The curriculum ofEG 1003 is broken up into four components. The laboratory exercises occur in a three-hourperiod where students learn key concepts of engineering through hands-on prototyping anddevelopments. Recitations are weekly sessions where students give professional presentations onthe technical skills practiced in the

A pertinent means of keeping students invested in thecourse, as well as the engineering profession, is through active learning techniques. Studies haveshown that an active learning environment produces strong indications of success and increasedstudent persistence in engineering [3] [4] [5].Course leadership initiated ENGR 111 development with a primary objective to, as much aspossible, base course pedagogy in active learning methodology to take advantage of the resultantbenefits to the student(s). Active learning can be defined as “any instructional method that engagesstudents in the learning process” [6], yet active learning is

The lecture portion of this course is taught by the instructor,utilizing an inverted classroom approach [5], while the laboratory portion of the course is taughtby a Graduate Teaching Associate (GTA), focusing on introducing students to variousengineering disciplines through team-based lab experiences and technical writing assignments.The instructional team for the lab consists of one GTA and four Undergraduate TeachingAssistants (UTAs). The GTA runs the weekly two-hour lab sessions by presenting the necessarybackground content and lab procedure information

Engineering Education, 2020 Work In Progress: First-Year Engineering Students and Their Perceptions of Academic ProgressIntroductionFirst-year engineering students are often under extreme amounts of stress. In their first semester,they are making the transition from high school to a college or a university where the rigor of thecoursework is above and beyond what they have experienced in the past. Typically, first-yearengineering students are expected to be calculus ready and take a calculus course in their firstsemester. They also take a laboratory science course, either chemistry or physics, but sometimesboth. In addition to these two courses, students usually take an introductory engineering courseand round out their

For quite some time now, many colleges have provided makerspace-analogous functionalities, including assembly/testing areas, machine shops, Computer AidedDesign laboratories, and/or classrooms.

For campuses that do implement such centralizedaccommodations, the majority of these makerspaces are utilized predominantly for informalsettings. Utilizing a makerspace for housing an introductory course in engineering, such as ENGR111, fosters a formal setting that includes a variety of disciplines that draws in diverse backgroundsand varying levels of expertise.If structured properly
