The literature supportsthe importance of first-year experiences with the major; however, our current ME program of study doesnot directly engage our majors until mid-way in year two as sophomores. While our pilot implementationis not conducting a rigorous engineering education research plan, we are undertaking various directmeasures of course delivery and student achievement with cognitive and affective domain learningobjectives.

IntroductionAddressing "Sustainability" is an overarching challenge for the 21st century, requiring engineersto play a critical role. In the US, undergraduate degree programs that directly attend tosustainability are of two types: (1) interdisciplinary programs that do not grant engineering degreesand (2) environmental engineering programs that are vital but do not entirely address the holisticnotion of sustainability.

Society for Engineering Education, 2023GTAs play a vital role in the implementation of active learning, largely because of their key rolesin the targeted large enrollment courses. GTAs lead recitations and labs in which smallerenrollments and the learning goals of the sessions are well aligned with active and hands-onlearning. Initial project plans included regular (weekly or bi-weekly) seminars for GTAs. Aformal seminar has been implemented for physics GTAs and more informal meetings aboutteaching recitations for math GTAs. While these seminars and meetings build community andprovide an opportunity to introduce pedagogical topics, they begin after the semester has startedand do not provide new GTAs with any training before they dive into their

SRC is comprised of iterative andrecursive cycles of interpreting requirements, planning (e.g., resources, time, strategies),implementing cognitive processes, monitoring progress, evaluating progress against internal andexternal standards, and continually refining approaches to better achieve goals (see Figure 1)[16]. This iterative process continues until a problem is solved or the student abandons the goal.As students manage their activities in tasks, they engage in iterative cycles of strategic activity,including actively interpreting requirements (i.e., interpreting task), developing a plan of action(i.e., planning), acting on a developed plan, and
