The course is designed to include twoimportant high impact practices [11] – a) collaborative assignments and projects, and b) first yearexperiences. The college tracks the progress of these cohort students to assess the effectivenessof the course in student success, specifically in increasing retention rate and reducing time tograduation.Student Retention and Graduation RatesAmong the undeclared engineering majors, 66%, 83%, 73%, 76%, and 84%, on average, wereenrolled in EGGN 100 in 2011, 2012, 2013. 2014 and 2015, respectively.

In order to broadly affect change in pedagogical practices, we sought toestablish a formalized faculty development effort. The literature points to a number of bestpractices for institutionalizing faculty development in engineering colleges. Felder et al. outlinedhow to design a faculty development program taking into consideration the structure of theofferings (e.g., workshops vs. seminars vs. learning community), which pedagogical topics toexplore, incentivizing participation by faculty, and assessing the effectiveness of the programwith respect to its impact on faculty participants’ attitudes and practices, and ultimately itsimpact on

Mandatory criteriawere related to practical implementation considerations and the desirability criteria were drivenby our desire to cultivate deeper approaches to learning.The mandatory criteria used for evaluation were: immediate availability, research-based peerand team evaluation components, and a well-developed instructor and student user interface.The possibility of LMS integration was investigated as a mandatory requirement but rejected, asit is dependent on the vendor motivation.

Second, industry’sprevailing perception that engineering education does not prepare graduates adequately for thepractice. Therefore, from industry’s perspective, the quality of education for engineering practiceis seen as deficient. Third, blending practical experience in teaching design and design-relatedcourses is repeatedly emphasized by ABET, and by other engineering organizations, such asASEE.(2,3) Thus, directions for proper merging of professional experience with engineeringscience in design courses are a concern that comes up often in

Teamworkwas a frequent theme in the student reflection logs, which was likely in part due to the fact thatapproximately half of the questions related to team performance and practices. Students oftenobserved that the drawbacks of working in a team (challenges in finding a time to meet,resolving conflict when there were different ideas about how to approach a problem) werebalanced by the benefits (multiple people to approach a problem, the ability to bounce ideas offeach other, diverse strengths and abilities). When asked for evidence about how well their teamwas performing, some students demonstrated a less refined view of the role of teamwork bydirectly linking the
