Developing a Primer for First-Year Engineering EducatorsAbstract This Work-in-Progress paper lays the foundation for a primer for first-year engineeringeducators. A first-year engineering education primer is an introductory document on thefundamentals of research related to teaching, mentoring, and coordinating the first-yearengineering experience. The motivations for the First-Year Programs Division to develop thisprimer is the transfer of research outcomes and facilitation of informed decision making forpracticing professionals. Primers are often developed in fields of study to assist with thedissemination of evidence-based best practices. New engineering educators, administrators, andadvisors who have little

Additionally, throughout higher education, research showsthat the transition to college is complex for any traditionally-aged learner, but this is especiallyso for those who have not chosen a major. As they grapple with mastery of independentdecision-making, balancing competing responsibilities, developing new relationships, andacademic rigor, they are also challenged with career and major choice. These barriers can placesignificant pressures on the undeclared student, making them more at more risk for attrition.At Drexel, a research institution that promotes career readiness via its co-op

Work in Progress: Exploring instructors’ decision-making processes on the use of evidence-based instructional practices (EBIPs) in first-year engineering coursesAbstractEvidence-based instructional practices (EBIPs) are pedagogical practices demonstrated byvalidated research findings to have a significant impact on student learning. These practicesencompass learner-centered learning environments, including guided inquiry, frequent formativefeedback, guided notes, and demonstrations, and knowledge-centered learning environments,including problem-based learning, and just-in-time teaching. Over the last twenty years,engineering educators have sought to create engaging learning experiences for students. However,while some educators have had
