The LWTL curriculumemploys hands-on, project-based instruction for first-year engineering design and demandsavailability of classrooms featuring equipment often restricted from wide student use byavailability and safety concerns. This adaptation included developing an updated interpretationof the classlab concept (where traditional lecture and laboratory activities are seamlesslyinterwoven into the same course, taught in two-hour blocks) and adding new supporting spacesdedicated to collaboration and access to equipment outside of class hours.

our students that are designed to build on our strengths and provide new areas of success.IntroductionMakerspaces are no longer novel or rare and are regularly being established on campuses and inurban spaces across the United States and beyond. A variety of research has been conducted tocatalog the positive impacts of makerspaces especially as it relates to engineering education. Ascampuses develop makerspaces, they have used the spaces as a type of laboratory to test theimpact of projects and courses related to making. We will build on this growing literature as wedevelop programming and policies for our Innovation Center (expected to open in the Fallsemester of 2022) that will promote an open and inclusive experience for users.New

Once they complete the project they create documents to show othershow these modules can be used. Once this is done they receive a small stipend. By emphasizingmodules, rather than entire courses, our faculty create things that other faculty (both here and atother schools) can insert into existing courses. So far we have had 15 faculty members (about40% of our total engineering faculty) create modules. Another six professors are in the processof creating modules. The degree of this involvement is helping to change the culture within ourcollege concerning the important of helping our

In engineering, in particular, theyneed opportunities to have ownership over the design problem; although posed by a customer orclient, design problems are framed by the designer [23], leading to a sense of agency [24] andownership [25].Interest can drive a sense of ownership over learning [26], which in turn can foster a mastery-oriented stance on learning [27] and help students make decisions about their futures [28].

Student Awareness of Research DatabasesIntroductionIn the late summer of 2018, the Northeastern University Library and the College of Engineeringstarted work on a collaboration that would benefit and support first year engineering students.The goal of the First Year Engineering (FYE) Library Workshops is to introduce first-yearengineering majors at the university to the library’s resources and databases, thus establishing afoundation in university-level engineering research.The Northeastern University College of Engineering, following a successful pilot in 2014,decided to adopt a “Cornerstone to Capstone” curriculum design for all incoming first-yearengineering students. The Cornerstone course incorporates hands-on, project-based design workwith
-onactivity using only a single graphic and 200-word explanation. As students become moreeffective at conveying their ideas in individual sections, the emphasis can turn towardtransitions between sections. After following this sequence, the final communication maybe assigned with few explicit instructions aside from format. Limiting the space or timestudents have to convey ideas may also be applied to the final communication. Forexample, in a junior-level Biomedical Signals and Systems course, students arechallenged to explain semester-long projects in a two-page IEEE format article and 20-minute presentation/demonstration.The instructional model works equally well with written, oral or graphicalcommunications and is well suited as a parallel to a
