With all these skillsets on display this is a good place for faculty toidentify the potential needs and/or strengths of a student with an ASD. Most students with anASD solve problems in creative, unconventional ways12. The ambiguous project may be an areafor the ASD student to research and thrive, while some ASD students will appreciate the moredirected project with rules and requirements. However, the scope of the guided project may beoverwhelming if presented all at once. A large project assignment should be broken down intosmaller steps/assignments with varying due dates.

How do curricular elements of a first year Cohort program impactretention of students through sophomore year and graduation? For now, while more detailedmapping of STRIDE activities to student performance and retention could be interesting,collection of aggregate performance data and reporting of Cohort activities is more practical, anduseful at this stage. It is also helpful to try and identify if there are differences in the impact onstudents from different disciplines. The present paper focuses on the impact on engineeringstudents versus that on non-engineering students.CONCLUSIONSThe engineering students in Cohort 2 of STRIDE – a First-Year

There are many explanations of individual excellence and entrepreneurialmindset [7,8, 9] and multiple studies about engineering students [10,11,12] with an emphasison a high need for achievement and potential for break-through innovation [13]. Since the late1990’s engineers and designers have been exploring moods and feelings and their connectionto better solutions [14]. And while research links entrepreneurial status to personality theory[15] and personality to leadership [16], few studies focus on the impact of emotion oninnovative success. This paper aims to begin filling that gap with a preliminary experiment toshow how students experience a story of innovation. The experiment is inspired by Radcliffe President Mattina

engineering, itsintroductory fundamental courses such as mechanics of materials, dynamics, and introduction tocircuit are easy targets of the practice of “herding” students into large classes. This practice canpose quite a difficult adjustment for freshman and sophomore college students. Cooper and Robinson14 artfully expressed the potentially dangerous consequence ofsubjecting freshman and sophomore college students to large lecture classes: A growing body of research points to the value of undergraduate learning environments that set high expectations, promote active and interactive learning, and give students personal validation and frequent feedback on their work.

similar ideas as presented here. One successful aspect of the experiment is that the 3Dmodel provides a more authentic emulation of real-world engineering practice. Students mayperuse the views and orbit the model in 3D to understand the nature of the problem. This type ofengagement, inquiry, and discovery is typically not possible in traditional paper exams.Additionally, by modeling the context in 3D, the exam designer is forced to fully develop theproblem in a way that is not typically done for an on-paper exam. For example, consider theunusual cross-section. The unconventional shape was strategically chosen to limit students’ability to use online moment of inertia solvers during the take-home exam.

volunteerism have been recognized forroughly three decades (Astin 1985), which has led an increasing number of higher educationinstitutions to establish numerous community service and service learning offices on theircampuses (Hall 2005; Ellis 1978; Enos 2002). To increase participation in volunteer activities many universities have adopted mandatoryapproaches such as including community service hours in graduation requirements. However,research has shown mandatory volunteer work impedes long-term and impactful servicelearning; instead, voluntary approaches to increase community service for college campuses aremore effective at creating an enriching service learning experience (Stukas et al. 1999).
