progress made in implementing FYE2.0 to date and discusses plans for the future.1.0 BackgroundFirst-year engineering programs (FYE) are a common way for students to be introduced to theengineering profession. [1]. FYE programs typically include one or two introductory courses on avariety of topics. The content of FYE courses can include any combination of topics such as design,communication, professional skills (e.g., teamwork, leadership), and engineering specifictechnology/tools (e.g., MATLAB, CAD) [2]. Fostering interactions between first-year studentsand faculty/upper division engineering students have been shown to aid in the retention ofengineering students.

for Learning in Biomedical Engineering CoursesIntroductionStudents are more frequently engaging with the virtual world for courses [1-3]. Studies show thatonline resources significantly and equitably improve students’ performance in courses [4,5].Additionally, online resources are comparable to traditional learning resources, such as textbooks,in terms of student course performance [6]. Additionally, artificial intelligence (AI) provides evenmore opportunities for improved learning in courses [7]. Identifying how students use onlineresources and AI is especially critical for the field of biomedical engineering (BME), whosemultidisciplinary scope may require students to use online resources not necessarily createdspecifically for BME audiences

Graduate education in engineering often requires graduate students to balance multipleroles that shape their academic and professional identities. Indeed, in addition to developing theirresearch skills, graduate students are often asked to assume teaching and mentorshipresponsibilities. These responsibilities are seen as opportunities that can significantly contribute tothe student’s personal and professional growth [1]. However, these roles are sometimes viewed assecondary when compared to their research within the academic environment, reflecting a broadertendency to prioritize the latter over teaching in STEM opportunities/programs [2]. This limitationhas been reported to hinder the development of pedagogical skills in graduate students [3

Everyday actions like navigating, putting things together,and deciphering schematics require spatial abilities [2]. Spatial ability has been divided intoseveral subcategories by [3], such as mental rotation and spatial visualization, which vary incomplexity and use. Significant differences in spatial ability are influenced by age, training, andgender[4].
