responsibility, because it forms the foundation of the students’ futureeducational experiences. Many different philosophies have been developed regarding thestudents’ first-semester experience as an engineering student, and each of these differentphilosophies has unique benefits and liabilities. While some conclusive statements can be madebased on rigorous pedagogical research, it is likely that the unique culture and context of aparticular university will require careful consideration and adaptation of any of thesephilosophies and structures in order to maximize students’ learning.In this paper, we will first present an overview of several different methods being used to teachfirst-year engineering students at programs throughout the country.

Colleges and universities also use introduction to engineering or first year seminarcourses in engineering to introduce students to the different fields in engineering by havingprojects and labs relating to different disciplines, or having guest speakers come in to giveintroductions to the different disciplines5, 11. Other colleges allow students to take severalintroductory courses in various areas to allow them to explore and gather information on variousfields12.A study of one such introductory program found that approximately 30% of students choose theirengineering discipline before

Engineering StudentsMotivationIn this evidence-based practice paper, we describe a joint effort by Northwestern University’snew student affairs (New Student and Family Programs) and engineering academic advisingoffices to create and implement a seminar course for first-year engineering students. For manyyears our University, like many others, has held orientation activities for incoming studentsbefore the start of fall classes. Groups of eight to twelve first-year students in the same collegeare led by a peer adviser throughout the week as the students learn about University resourcesand enroll in courses. Four years ago, we noted anecdotally that many of these groups mettogether informally throughout the first year to support each other as they

However,reliable strategies for teaching teamwork are notably absent from the engineering educationliterature.

Comparatively less research has examinedconative approaches, in which students explore the relation between knowledge of instinctivebehavioral strengths and team productivity.
