GIFTS: Global Classroom Project: Bringing global competency to the STEM classroomThe Global Classroom Project aims to develop global awareness in undergraduate students atPenn State University. The goal is to bring together first-year domestic and international studentsto enhance classroom learning and engage with the concepts of student integration and globalcompetency. Actively integrating international and domestic students not only fulfills thepurpose of enriching their academic experience, we find that it also increases global competencyand awareness. The first-year seminar courses serve as a platform for STEM students’ academicand social integration and are often designed to prepare students for
GIFTS: Going Circular – Reusing a First-Year Design ProjectWe developed a first-year multidisciplinary design project, which compels students to think interms of circular economies. This project focused on introducing students to the design processand project management. We structured the project for teams of 4 or 5 first-year students,requiring 40-50 hours per student throughout the semester. The students are required to keeptheir vehicle battery charged with use of a photovoltaic module. The competition goalprominently features a measure of the reusability of components.The project requires technical work in mechanics, electronics, and programming in a context ofsystem design and sustainability. Most students find at least one

Prototyping a prototype-based project with minimal equipment requirementsAbstract: This full paper describes the design, implementation, and reception of a prototype-baseddesign project for first-year engineering students in an introductory course. This project wasintroduced in a course that previously lacked authentic physical design due to the limited accessto prototyping equipment. Prior student projects were confined to design and computer modelingand simulation elements only, with hands-on activities restricted to measurement-based labs. Thenew project incorporated concept development by the students along with physical prototyping oftheir design using and a combination of reusable components and disposable inexpensive supplies.The
