Many of these initiatives must take place at theadministrative level to be effective 34,35. Without administrative support and relevant incentivesfor individual professors, reform efforts often fade, although a review of multiple studies alsoshows that change cannot be mandated in a top-down approach 36. Individual professors shouldreshape their courses with these issues in mind. However, it can be difficult to bring thesedifferent facets of student experience into focus, and understand what is possible within aspecific course.

difficultto creatively apply to practical engineering problems. Felder and Brent confirm this intuitionwith several studies that show students need repetitive practice with consistent feedback todevelop new skills (1). Simply showing students how to solve a particular problem doesn’tguarantee they can apply these concepts on their own. With these ideas in mind, the lab morphedfrom a traditional recitation to weekly programming challenges solved in a group setting. Thelaboratory and lecture now focus on the C++ and MATLAB languages with plans to alsoincorporate Python in future semesters. This paper details the changes to the laboratory portion of the course to use problem-based learning (PBL) and just-in-time teaching (JiTT) in a collaborative

Some students matriculating through the degree programs (such as transfer students orthose with Advanced Placement course credit) may experience curricular choice opportunity thatis incongruent with what is reported in the catalog.Keeping these limitations in mind and looking at the program correlations next to the medianpercentages of their bachelor’s degrees earned by women, it is interesting to cautiously note thatthe correlations were the lowest (and not significant) for chemical and civil engineering, which—of the four disciplines—were more popular with women in

is also helpful for first-year students to understand the methods by whichengineering results are communicated to co-workers, management or the general public:graphs and charts, drawings and diagrams, written communications and oralpresentations. Some general guidelines can be quite useful (e.g., keep in mind theintended audience and their background and knowledge) without having to undertake thecomplete instruction of the students in these modes of communication.CONCLUSIONS It is my thesis in this paper that first-year engineering students should be exposedto a general structure of how engineering is applied by focusing on the general conceptswithout going into a great deal of detail by relying on examples that use high schoolphysics
