used throughout the course, such as incorporating three of the five senses in everylesson - students hear, see visually what is being said, and work/feel with what is being said; usinglarge print on PowerPoint, with few words per slide and many visuals; having opportunities forstudents to work with peers in groups; brainstorming; KWL charts; and hands-on activities.Multiple frontloading techniques were used so that if students were bored in one context, theywould be motivated in another. Detailed examples of some of the frontloading techniques used inthe course are discussed next.One of the most fundamental concepts taught in Fundamentals of Engineering is the engineeringdesign process. The instructors agreed that the pumpkin chunkin

, leadingup to finally meeting in person during the end of semester competition.Introduction to Mechanical EngineeringThe Introduction to Mechanical Engineering course (ME 1001) has many goals, includingincorporating methodologies to increase the retention rate of the program by giving studentssomething to look forward to in the field of Mechanical Engineering [11]. A specific learningstrategy that embodies this involves having first year students in the course demonstrate theirability to design and create in a major semester-long project called ‘The Pumpkin LaunchExtravaganza’. This project involves student teams consisting of 8-10 students who conductresearch on how to design launch devices, construct full size machines to launch actualpumpkins at

fewweeks before most freshmen started scheduling. During this event, upperclassmen spoke to thefreshmen in attendance about elective options, course rigor, and scheduling layout. In addition,some mentors and mentees attended a pumpkin carving event open to all students at theuniversity. BMES general meetings were also a twice monthly occurrence, when mentors andmentees were able to connect. Study jams were also held by BMES during final exam week,which provided another meeting space for mentors, mentees and all BME students. Overall,these events were successful for the mentor and mentee groups who attended.Results based on students’ experiencesNear the end of the semester, the mentor group was asked to describe their interaction with eachmentee in
