AB  - The physics course evaluations and feedback studies are extremely important at the freshman level due to several reasons. This data captures the students’ reflections and learning outcomes and can help either to rebuild or re-evaluate a wider and vigorous Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) workforce at university levels. “XXX university” is offering career focused education through seventeen bachelor degree programs together with a limited number of master degree programs. Since 2013, most (80%) engineering students at “XXX university” have followed a common first year, taking Engineering Physics I (Mechanics) in the fall of their freshman year concurrently with Calculus I, and Engineering Physics II (Electricity and Magnetism) in the spring of freshman year concurrently with Calculus II. Teaching Engineering Physics I at the university level is always challenging and interesting since it requires an empathy with the students who have only just arrived from variety of high schools. This paper will report the results of an independent classroom survey conducted at the end of fall 2016 to measure the course accomplishments from students’ perspective in many factors, namely, learning goals, current teaching methodology, what they like to have, what they don’t like to have, what are they really expecting from the class, what they like to tell to the course instructor and finally, how to improve the course in the coming years.  Expectations versus performance will also be discussed.  If available at the time of the paper, more recent data will be included to show trends from year to year.
