Adding to FYECS struggles is the fact that many donot have a mentor in their related field and are unable to start building their professionalrepertoire, network, technical skills, or their content knowledge related to engineering. Simplyput, many FYECS do not identify with a community. The EIRC can be described as aCommunity of Practice (CoP) where a group of individuals have a shared vision, mutualengagement, shared repertoire, and joint enterprise. The Value Creation Framework, constructedby Wenger, Trayner, and de Laat [1] focuses on assigning value which can be produced throughsocial learning.

minority institution like a Historically Black College and University (HBCU)are still the first generation college students in their families [1, 2]. Hence, the challenges theyhave to overcome as a first-year engineering student are greater than their peers. Students are notprepared to enroll into the right set of pre-engineering courses and persist due to their lack ofprior preparedness in high school math, physics, chemistry, and English [3,4,5,6]. Gatewaycourses have been recognized as one of the major barriers to earning a STEM degree [7]. Thenumber of times pre-requisite courses can be offered particularly every semester and in summeris also limited in small schools.

The emergence andperpetuation of engineering’s uninviting culture can have a negative influence on the actions ofindividual members of engineering teams, and be a strong indicator of overall team performance[2].

Current criteria require that curricula include “a culminating major engineeringdesign experience that…incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple constraints”[2]. This requirement addresses demand from industry for engineering graduates to enter theworkforce with knowledge of technical standards, particularly as a generation of baby-boomerswith expertise in standardization retires.

Other courses that allow thesestudents to practice writing are engineering lab courses that require lab reports. In these labclasses, professors tend to focus on the quality of the technical material rather than the quality ofthe writing [4]. This could be due to a

In this study, studentsare asked to state the perceived “effort,” the amount of time spent completing or studying forrespective assessments and their preparedness to complete both formative and summativeassignments in an Electrical Engineering (SCADA Systems and Design) and MechanicalEngineering (Dynamics) class. As expected, scores on formative assessments are mildlycorrelated with summative assessments. However, results indicate that time spent studying forsummative assessments is not correlated to the summative assessment scores.1

prompts educators to modify their courses in ways thatincrease the engagement of their students with the suggested benefit being increased learninggains, retention, and greater academic success [1]. Yet, even within the research community it isacknowledged that engagement is multi-faceted and difficult to define [2]. Educators are thereforeleft to make their own judgements on what their classrooms will look and feel like if their studentsare engaged. Research has shown that it is cognitive engagement (over behavioral or emotionalengagement) that is indicative of higher-order processing [3]. It therefore becomes important thateducators are able to assess the cognitive engagement of their students in straightforward andmeaningful ways.Chi and Wylie
