Educators may, as part of their service, support recruitingthrough high school student interaction either through camps or through on campus visits.University educators may be called upon to create activities to engage students in K-12,undergraduate and graduate students. It is a wide spectrum, but there are many activities whichare shared by all including electronic devices. The current class of first year students were allexposed to online learning methods during pandemic closures. Many of these students have alsohad access to Google Classroom type coursework systems in their K-12 classrooms.

knowledge as filters guiding thealignment of teaching practices with their convictions. This work holds significant implicationsfor current and future first-year instructors in that this paper will showcase how the instructors inthis study use their understanding of the content and their students to teach, which is a criticalaspect of helping students successfully integrate into engineering.IntroductionImproving the percentage of undergraduate engineering students and enhancing undergraduategraduation rates has been identified as a priority for engineering education. To achieve this,many regional, national, and international assessments have been recommended to also enhancethe caliber of engineering graduates. Greater focus is being given to how

. While the lecture contentsdiffer, the drill sections are the same for all courses. During the drills, we partner with otherCollege of Engineering units to focus on major selection, academic coaching, student successand professional development skills.On average, 40% of incoming first-year engineering students are a part of the Honors College.Over 95% of these honors students choose to take the Honors version of the Introduction toEngineering I course. Honors and regular students in the Introduction to Engineering courseshave been integrated into the same sections, attending identical lectures, completing identicalassignments, and undergoing the same assessments. Honors students, however, are tasked withadditional coursework to earn honors
