over the shoulder of the student adjacent during the exam, or moresophisticatedly, by texting across the room, or by using the internet via cell phone to help withanswers. It has even been observed that students use their phones to take pictures of thequestions and/or answers to send to another student in the class or even to an individualoutside of the classroom who responds with a solution. In lab, cheating often occurs by copyingprevious labs, or duplicating someone else’s laboratory results or discussion. It may occur onhomework by copying someone else’s homework or working in a homework group whereothers do the work and the offender writes down the solutions without understanding. There isan easy criterion to judge cheating; if the
classroom and laboratory hours of math-intensivecurriculum aligned with practicing and strengthening engineering problem-solving skills. Thecoursework was taught by a university faculty member and doctoral student, and assisted bystudent teaching assistants. FYSE participants were given homework assignments, lab work,quizzes, exams, and an engineering-related group project with a final presentation. Upper-levelengineering undergraduate students were hired as residential tutors to assist students each weeknight, providing guidance and support on homework assignments and projects, in addition togeneral support in the students’ residence facility.In addition to the academic components, the FYSE program was designed to cultivatecommunity and a network

competitions in theuse of CAD through Skills Canada[2]. This causes a significant difference in the incomingstudent’s ability and self confidence related to this course.Teaching and Learning PhilosophyCentral to the teaching and learning philosophy of this course was that a significant componentof the course would be learned and experienced through computer laboratory sessions. With thisin mind, the typically 12-week duration course was set to have 1.5 hours per week of lecturesand 3 hours per week of computer lab sessions. The lectures would be undertaken in a singlesection and would typically have an enrolment of approximately 100 students. Each of the labswould have a maximum size of 45 students, typically requiring three lab sections, which

to offer training and/or teaching in new skillsand/or knowledge [51]. For quite some time now, many colleges have provided makerspace-analogous functionalities, including assembly/testing areas, machine shops, Computer AidedDesign laboratories, and/or classrooms. What universities often disregard is the inclusion all ofthese elements in one location [52]. For campuses that do implement such centralizedaccommodations, the majority of these makerspaces are utilized predominantly for informalsettings. Utilizing a makerspace for housing an introductory course in engineering, such as ENGR111, fosters a formal setting that includes a variety of disciplines that draws in diverse backgroundsand varying levels of expertise.If structured properly
