-making, “how others dealt with the problem” aspects of case studiesas in [10,11]; however, they do inform students about what to expect in an engineering career,introduce the disciplines, build analytical skills, and offer contextual information.Case Studies: Development Methodology, Description, and Student PerceptionsFirst-generation case studies were developed by full-time faculty, sessional instructors, and co-op interns. With the arrival of a First-Year Engagement Coordinator, a formal structuregoverned the hiring and deployment of co-op students for case study development [12]. Basedon our experiences, we recommend that case study development proceed as follows: 1. Set top-level goals for case studies at the Core (or equivalent

experience with first-year engineering programs or education researchcan use the empirical data from the primer to effectively transfer research findings into theclassroom and student experience. This work-in-progress paper documents preliminary researchto determine the scope of the thematic topics to be included in the primer. The preliminaryresearch is bounded by the American Society for Engineering Education First-Year ProgramsDivision and First-Year Engineering Experience conference sessions, best papers, and call forpapers. The topics generated in this study may also be used to refine future calls for papers andsession themes. In the future, a committee or workshop could be used to refine these findings.Introduction This study examines

, except for 2017 when theinstructor was on family leave during the end of the quarter. The goal of the evaluation was toassess the students’ feelings about the project and engineering design in general. A scale of 1-5was used where numbers corresponded to the following responses: 5 – Strongly Agree, 4 –Somewhat Agree, 3 – Neutral, 2 – Somewhat Disagree, 1 – Strongly Disagree, 0 – No Opinion.If a student gave an answer of “No Opinion” their response was taken out of the averagecalculation. Table 2 provides a list of the questions, plus the mean response for 2014 and 2018.Table 2: Comparison of evaluation results from project surveys in 2014 and 2018. Mean Response Mean

Creating a Peer Advising Program to Increase Engagement with Pre-major Engineering Students (GIFTS)This GIFTS paper will describe how the Engineering Advising Center (EAC) within the Collegeof Engineering at a large mid-Atlantic university is actively creating a Peer Advising Program.The Peer Advising Program will serve as an innovative advising approach to increaseengagement of pre-major students within the College. Once admitted, Engineering students gothrough an entrance-to-major process and generally declare a specific major at the end of theirsecond year.The Peer Advising Program will meet the students’ need for information and provide a peersystem for this exchange. Peer Advisors will offer technical and low

Prior to beginning his doctoral studies, Hassan worked for five years at General Electric where he graduated from their Edison Engineering Development Program (EEDP) and then worked as a gas turbine fleet management engineer. In addition to his technical role, Hassan supported the recruiting, interview, and selection process of the EEDP Program, where he mentored interns, co-ops and Edison associates from the Middle East and Africa regions by developing and teaching a technical training cur- riculum, providing guidance for graduate school applications, and providing

College success courses assist students in developing theskills that they need to be successful in college [2]. At the joint Florida A&M University-FloridaState University College of Engineering (FAMU-FSU COE), we have found that the final gradea student receives in our introductory engineering course is a strong indicator of a studentsuccessfully

with a research trip to Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. Garcia also leads efforts coordinating and directing the En- gineering Summer Bridge Program, which gives first-generation underrepresented students a head start on engineering and math courses before their first semester begins. Access and Inclusion has received grants and endowments to support these programs, totaling nearly $1 million. Before joining the College of Engineering, Garcia served as program coordinator then promoted to assistant director of outreach and diversity at Mays Business School at Texas A&M. She later served as director of recruitment in the College of Geosciences at Texas A&M. In both capacities, she created, managed and developed
