: applying continuous improvement practicesand realizing that, in a sense, the program is in start-up mode (as in an entrepreneurial start-up)and therefore we need to be nimble and willing to evolve the program as we improve it andexpand it.As we have grown, we have also seen an increase in the number of students transferring fromother majors within the institution and from other colleges and universities. These includestudents who have courses that may satisfy some courses in our curriculum, particularly theintroductory programming courses (Python, R, Object Oriented Programming). This hasmotivated us to develop a course equivalency list which benefits the students and our academicadvisors.More on these topics in the next sections.Program

graduatingfrom high school are prepared to take university level courses in math and science. In 2022, theACT composite results fell to the lowest values since 1991. This generation of students is moredistressed, disengaged, digitally distracted, and discouraged when compared with previouscohorts.The purpose of this project is to identify the challenges faced by students transitioning from highschool to college after the COVID-19 pandemic. For this study, we are focused on the transitionof first-generation students as they experience their first semester in college. We believe that theCOVID-19 pandemic has caused significant shifts in the struggles and needs of incomingstudents. For the analysis, first semester students enrolled in an engineering

rateamong engineering graduates in western countries is almost 13% [4], and a staggering62.3% and 42.8% among Fine art and Design graduates respectively [5]. These numbersdo not just disincentivise students from pursuing their desired majors and their passionsbut also suggest a need for an immediate change to improve disciplinary education, ifnot completely returning to an integrative multidisciplinary approach.The vitality of multidisciplinary education is therefore evident. However, the approachtowards this collaborative education is just as important. The way a topic is introducedto a student and the way that topic is applied varies highly with respect to the type ofeducational model being followed. Project based learning, for example gives

programs. VAx represented not onlya conversion from traditional travel-based programs but was a departure from conventionalprograms featuring unique characteristics as follows [6]:1) Participation of six engineering institutes and universities from five countries across Asia (Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines),2) A 14-class interdisciplinary curriculum led by 12 multiethnic lecturers including six each in technological and social science fields, supplemented by non-lecture activities like group discussions and team presentations,3) An engineering knowledge component designed to stimulate participants’ borderless engineering interests beyond their specific field of study and teach participants to apply combined
