Students areexposed to vicarious successes and role models, with opportunities to present successes andcorrect errors. Each student’s performance gets honest feedback, with specific information abouthow to improve their skills and performance. Instructors and staff meet regularly

By 1982, over 175 educators acrossthe country came together to discuss first-year seminars, and the following year the AnnualConference on the Freshman Year Experience was born. Today, an effective first-yearexperience has been identified as a high impact educational practice by the Association ofAmerican Colleges and Universities (AAC&U). Although these experiences differ significantlyfrom university to university, ranging anywhere from a single course specifically taken in themajor itself, through more involved practices including live-learn communities, Kuh emphasizesthe most influential points of a first-year experience include a “strong emphasis on criticalinquiry, frequent writing, information literacy

This is a time that thestudent can practice, without serious consequences for making mistakes. Therefore, the university’s role in providing programs to prepare students to not only belifelong learners, but also leaders, has gained a greater significance in the last ten years. In orderto meet industry’s growing demand for future technical leaders, university sponsoredundergraduate engineering leadership development programs have been increasing steadily.

In this paper wepresent the practices and effectiveness of the collaborative instruction and just in time teachingpedagogy that we apply in the context of engineering technology education. We show howcollaborative efforts have been made by multiple faculty members to immediately teach studentsuseful skills and guide them in the understanding of engineering design principles in the area ofembedded systems. With the combination of these methods, students with minimal math orprogramming backgrounds were able to independently initiate, design and develop technicallychallenging projects for a nationwide competition.

Can weafford to produce engineers with little understanding of implications of those technologies forthe world?” They offer the following definition of technological

However, while valuable,faculty perspectives tend to be representative of experiences in, and of academia, which is asmall sector of practicing engineers.
