To address these needs, the team of instructors for ENES100developed and implemented a “Team Performance Rubric”.Although there are many tools and software that are available for assessing the performance of ateam and gathering peer evaluations [1], a novel aspect of the rubric is a reflective andresponsive approach for assessing design practices within the team. A rubric was developed forrating a team’s engineering design process habits, such as"effective use of modeling techniques”and “design iteration,” as well as the team’s effectiveness, such as “productive discourse

These workshops, led by a teaching assistant, offer hands-on programming practicebeyond lectures, reinforcing core concepts. The PLG is a non-credit corequisite, taught by aproficient former student, with all materials provided by the faculty. There is no direct gradeassigned to the PLG because students are completing their Programming assignments during thePLG. The focus is to give students confidence to start writing code from scratch and let themdevelop their own programming style.In addition to the regular coursework, the curriculum is enriched with challenges and modulesfrom the MathWorks

pedagogy in FYE.Introduction According to Chatman [1-Pg. 19], narrative is essentially a way of organizing text. Thenarrative structure must be brought to life through various forms: in writing, as seen in storiesand events; through spoken words and acting, as in plays and films; in drawings, comic strips,and actions; and even in music. Recognizing its potential to convey stories, scholars begun toexplore narrative as a powerful tool to enhance teaching and learning experience. The applicationof narrative pedagogies, also called story-based pedagogies, spans extensive research over thelast decades [2], [3], [4].
