ways, if any, do student understandings change between their first and second years?Broader Project BackgroundThis analysis used an existing data set generated as part of a larger project that encompasses sixuniversities across three countries. Member institutions are equally distributed, two each fromthe United States, United Kingdom, and South Africa. The research team for this project includesfaculty and graduate students from all three countries, with direct representation from five of thesix included institutions. The objective of the project is to capture various aspects of the studentexperience over the course of a student’s undergraduate career and is thus a longitudinalundertaking beginning in the first year and ending with the

The narrative approach used in this paper is designed to make abstract concepts moreconcrete, situational learning more accessible, and to foster a sense of belonging. A case studywill be conducted within a first-year engineering program to investigate the following researchquestion: To what extent does narrative pedagogy influence the development and implementationof the curriculum in first-year engineering course? The ultimate goal is to develop a robustpedagogical model that can be generalized across disciplines, contributing to the broadereducational research and practice field.Proceedings of the 2024 ASEE North Central Section Conference Copyright © 2024, American Society for
