Page 23.559.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Examining the Experiences and Perceptions of First-Year Engineering StudentsAbstractThe College of Engineering at a mid-Atlantic research University is working on a multi-yearstudy that seeks to understand the undergraduate engineering experience and how engineeringundergraduates are being prepared to become engineers of 2020: engineers who are goodcommunicators, creative, and ethical, and who have the skills to work in global andmultidisciplinary teams. One of the components of this study consists of understanding the first-year engineering experience.The purpose of this paper is to describe the first

several decades computational methods have increasingly played a central role inMaterials Science and Engineering (MSE) for characterizing structure, simulating processes andpredicting materials' response. To align with this shift, an MSE department at a researchuniversity in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region launched a curricular innovation to inculcate studentswith a basic facility with computational methods and to leverage computing proficiency toincrease student comprehension of core MSE concepts. In this study we investigate the impact ofthis curricular innovation on students’ (a) perceptions regarding the utility of integratingcomputation in their studies and their future careers; (b) perceptions regarding their own abilitiesto implement
