describes findings from an evaluation of a first-year generalengineering program from the perspective of a group of stakeholders from multiple engineeringdisciplines. Specifically, senior engineering students, considered “alumni” of the general first-year program, provided their perceptions on how useful the foundation of engineering coursestaken in their first-year have been to their advancement in their engineering degree over time. Inthis qualitative study, data were collected through a focus group and students’ responses werecoded using an open coding approach. Results suggest that the first-year program provides studentsfrom multiple engineering disciplines with foundational skills like problem-solving andprofessional skills and help them

focused on numerous areas of interest, includinginstructional practices and faculty beliefs, which is the focus of this paper. Studies aboutinstructional practices [3] - [6] have revealed that the classroom behaviors of instructors and theimplicit and explicit messages they send to students can impact students' beliefs [8] - [11].Faculty beliefs/mindsets is another area of interest for researchers, where studies have revealedthat faculty beliefs can affect student outcomes [12], [13]. For example, research has establishedthat faculty who seemed to believe that intelligence (or other abilities) is malleable and can beimproved through practice and training (analogous to having a growth mindset) were perceivedas more motivating, had higher student

Introduction to STEM was implemented as one of the initial steps in thisproject to use CBI with hands-on activities in early STEM career courses. CBI is aresearch proven methodology that provides students with an interactive approach inlearning and understanding new concepts . The literature indicates that hands-onactivities are required to promote STEM interest as a career path. These hands-onactivities also allow students to develop abilities and apply concepts and

The use of self-paced web tutorials as ameans of efficiently integrating complex software package use into undergraduate curricula hasbeen the subject of a long-term effort at Carnegie Mellon8, 9.

These practices can provide multiple touchpoints for educators to supportgood practices and help students develop beyond less ideal practices. Furthermore, by embracingthe inherent variation in students’ practices, the results from this approach can be used to supportstudents where they are at as individual designers rather than strictly enforcing a singularpathway for development.Prior work has also sought to support students to reflect while designing through variousscaffolds, such as using group discussion35 or structured design journals36.

To address this disparity, the faculty developed a student regulated learningreflection (SLR) assignment which asks each student to define leadership and teamwork, tocomplete a confidential peer-evaluation by assessing each team member’s performance andanswering a psychological safety questionnaire. The criteria looked at leadership, collaborationand inclusivity, responsibility, work quality, meeting deadlines, and communication.

Future studies will include more detailed implementations of some of the topics and try tofurther correlate to what extent AIM feedback directly affects student learning outcomes. In ad-dition, work will explore applying this beyond just the engineering school and will documentthe successes and failures. In addition, a more detailed analysis and data-collection method forquantitative measuring of AIM feedback and potential benefits will be explored. Furthermore,comparisons to student evaluations (held through the university) could provide further comparisonpoints.References [1] Jennifer Rowley. “Designing student feedback questionnaires”.
