During the first year of the NSF project (2020) the new GEEN 1201 course was addedto the curriculum for freshmen students in three departments: Electrical Engineering andComputer Science (EECS), Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (MIEN), and Chemical andNatural Gas Engineering (CHNG). The new course replaced an existing one that was previouslyrequired for those students, UNIV 1201. While the UNIV 1201 course consisted of mainlygeneric student success material applicable to students of all majors, the new GEEN 1201 courseadded engineering and discipline specific content relevant to a student’s intended major field ofstudy to that curriculum.Each of the three departments (EECS, MIEN, and CHNG) designed their own version of theGEEN 1201 course

These concepts are often taught during the early stages of engineeringeducation, typically in the first year of instruction. Students are expected to demonstrate designabilities in classes and projects throughout their education [3]. For instance, a cohort ofuniversity professors from the University of Malaga implemented robotic integration into theirundergraduate course to promote hands-on learning using Lego NXT, something that was quitenovel at the time [5]. The response from students showed improvement in identifying problemsand designing solutions [5]. Moreover, a study by Onar et al. [6] claimed that

This pathway works well for some students butexcludes many. We decided to focus on math classes since our campus data indicates that over60% of students who start in precalculus or single variable calculus never take an engineeringcourse, despite indicating an interest in

Incorporation of service-learning projects in curricula mayimprove students’ attitudes toward self and school, civic engagement, social skills, and academicperformance [16]–[19], which can strengthen engineering identity.

It alsorepresents a unique way for students to meet together, discuss, share insights, and support eachother since it is related to a course (unlike most extracurricular activities) but is not formally partof the course.
