Our purpose is to examine student learning connected to a designchallenge in two first-year courses: one in the chemical & biological engineering department andone in community & regional planning program within the school of architecture and planningdepartment; both courses were taught in the same research university in the southwestern US,which serves a very diverse population. We conducted two iterations in a design-based researchprocess. Design-based research involves testing both theory of and designs for learning underreal world conditions. Our learning theory is that diverse populations

toavoid any potential ethical conflicts. Beyond ethical conflicts, this is also important as there arefaculty both within the college of engineering (CoE) and the FYE group itself with groupinterview experience and one with significant experience with engineering education. Facultybeing interviewed may not have been as forthright knowing data gathering was being performedby their peers. Furthermore, members of the FYE program abstained from surveys responses andfocus groups. A series of four questions was asked in survey form of all faculty: 1. What is your understanding of the rational motivating this curriculum change? 2. From your perspective, what are the potential benefits of the FYE program? 3. What concerns do you have

The Standards Program is the focus of this paper as itthe only pathway offered at the regional campuses. The two courses sequence offered in thisprogram are: Fundamentals of Engineering I and Fundamentals of Engineering II. These courseshave two main components: lectures and hands-on labs. The topics covered in lecture provideskills for problem solving, critical thinking, ethical decision making, teamwork, communicationand presentation.

In 2017, the book selection was TheImmortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot, which focuses on ethics and issues of classand race within science.During the fall semester, students participate in a 1.5-hour discussion session led by two upper-level College of Engineering students. These discussions focus on important themes in the bookand how these relate to engineering and the experiences of a first-year student. The sharedexperience is intended to encourage community-building and promote a sense of belongingamong the students. This discussion also prompts reflection about what it means to be anengineer, including the

The first course is a 1 credit-hour course takenin the Fall semester where students work on team-based, hands-on activities related to designmethodology, graphical communication, project management, use of numerical analysissoftware, and ethics. The second course is a 2 credit-hour course typically taken in the Springsemester [7]. While the first course focuses on topics of relevance to all engineering majors, thesecond course focuses on design-related activities relevant to the mechanical engineeringprofession and covering the topics of CAD [8], forces on structures [9], thermal energy and fluidsystems
