mechanical engineering (n=9), electrical engineering(n=3), general engineering (n=4), civil engineering (n=2), and one student each frommanufacturing, computer science, and no major declared. The second class included in the study was Experimental Design and TechnicalWriting(ENGR:291). In this two-credit-hour course, students develop their writing skills throughassignments related to common types of scientific and professional communication, such asresearch essays, project proposals, professional memos, journal articles, professional emails, andpresentations. Students are also introduced to fundamental concepts in experimental design. Forthe final project, students are asked to design, execute, and document an experiment of their ownchoosing

student success andretention. Recognizing the importance to retention of identity as an engineering student andfuture engineering professional, academic success (especially in math), and building a supportnetwork within the engineering community, the program attempts to assist first-year studentstransitioning from high school to a college engineering education environment. This paperspecifically focuses on the experiences of early-career engineering educators who participated inthe Engineering Connect program. It highlights the benefits they gained from the program, suchas improvements in their teaching, research, and service activities, as well as the challenges theyfaced while implementing the program in their coursework.1.1.

more time for the students taking note and thinking 63 Research DevelopmentFor faculty members, staying actively involved in research is essential to remain at the forefrontof engineering advancements. Keeping abreast of the latest developments in engineering enablesnew faculty to enhance the relevance of lectures, thereby becoming a more effective educator forstudents. To navigate this process effectively, new faculty members can engage in various strategiesfor research development.3.1 Identifying Research TopicsNew faculty members should focus on defining their research interests and goals. As a startingpoint, most of the new faculty members may choose to continue their graduate studies
