Findings from the review serve as bases toestablish a strategic plan for the SSC.The literature review also revealed several issues that led to the launching of this project. First-generation college students demand extra support to find their path to academic and professionalsuccess [7]. Undecided freshmen desire more educated decision before choosing the right major.Students who have been mostly isolated in their last two years of high school need intentionallyadded support in order to develop their social skills [8, 9]. In response to these needs and toincrease the value of CET student college experience in general, the collaborative team 2023 ASEE Southeastern Section

Society for Engineering Education, 2023GTAs play a vital role in the implementation of active learning, largely because of their key rolesin the targeted large enrollment courses. GTAs lead recitations and labs in which smallerenrollments and the learning goals of the sessions are well aligned with active and hands-onlearning. Initial project plans included regular (weekly or bi-weekly) seminars for GTAs. Aformal seminar has been implemented for physics GTAs and more informal meetings aboutteaching recitations for math GTAs. While these seminars and meetings build community andprovide an opportunity to introduce pedagogical topics, they begin after the semester has startedand do not provide new GTAs with any training before they dive into their

It is a challengefor the new generation, however, it is also our challenge to proactively embrace the technologyand integrate it in our plans for preparing our future engineers.

One step of the antenna testing process will be to connect thestudent-constructed antennas to an SDR using a balun and then verify that the antenna is workingby using the SDR to receive a live signal.
