First Year Engineering student is assigned an advisor that theywill work with throughout their first year.During the spring semester of 2016 we began requiring all first year engineering student tocomplete a five-semester plan before their mandatory meeting with their advisor during theregistration period. Originally we had students upload their plan to Microsoft SharePoint, whichwas not part of our university’s LMS. For the fall 2016 semester we created a section for allentering first year students in Canvas, our LMS. Students already use Canvas for all of theiruniversity courses and therefore are familiar with its design and structure. The benefit of using anLMS is that it allows users to “organize content and multimedia resources into

the project management course inagile methods were encouraged to organize their teams and projects according to scrum.At the core of scrum is the notion of empowering the team to organize the tasks independentlytogether with the idea of quick prototyping for fast customer feedback. Formal methods, incontext, rely more heavily on documentation, planning and preparation. The hypothesis forthis study is that delegating the responsibility of project organization to the student teamwould motivate the students to take a greater responsibility for both the project and their ownlearning, and, that this would promote increased student learning by way of motivatingstudent responsibility.Students of the three scrum-teams took a large responsibility for

However, these grants are highly competitiveand are generally more difficult to write than other research grant proposals, since they ofteninvolve a career development plan, an education plan, and other strategic components integratingresearch and education efforts, in addition to a solid and innovative research project. The TexasA&M University Office of Proposal Development and the Texas Engineering ExperimentStation Office of Strategic Research Development, both within the Texas A&M UniversitySystem, work together each year to present a seminar on how to write competitive proposals forgrants specifically for junior faculty.

The feedback would be incorporated into theprogram before the fall semester, 2004. At that point, the training would be validated and readyfor a much broader set of trainees with less technical backgrounds.Program Objectives and GoalsWe had two primary objectives for the training program: 1.
