In the Fall of 2016 we taught“Introduction to Engineering”, a course designed to help students transition from high school tocollege and learn strategies to help them become successful engineering students. Over 70% ofthe students had not yet
to conform.• Status. This is a socially defined position or rank given to a group by others. It does not apply to our student groups since each is randomly assigned and everyone belongs to a group.• Size. Sometimes, we assign group sizes by the resources allocated to the task such as the number of pieces of lab equipment or the number of computers available in a particular classroom. Sometimes we decide on size of group based on the research to be dome and the possibility of each member learning from the exercise. Our task is to teach engineering and ABET’s mandate is to teach engineering to students who will have to operate in a group when they graduate. To accomplish this, we often must juggle the group sizes to

Arduino projects, only 23% ofstudents fell into this category. Because the other conditions, including the curriculum, have notbeen changed, and this is the only electrical engineering course offered to freshman students,studying the effect of changes in this course on student outcomes throughout the semester is oneof the goals of this research. This correlation suggests that Arduino projects may play a role inimproving student academic performance by creating a positive view of the application ofElectrical Engineering in their daily life. Moreover, despite variations in average course finalgrades between the two semesters (72.35% and 75.86%, respectively), the consistentrelationship between Arduino projects and reduced low GPAs implies that the
