Work in Progress: Inspiring and Engaging First-Year Engineering Students at a Small Campus Through International Team Design ProjectsAbstractThis work-in-progress, innovative practice paper summarizes our first-year Introduction toEngineering Design course at a small campus, and our continuing efforts to improve studentengagement, inspiration, and retention in engineering. The paper emphasizes the two majordesign projects used to teach the engineering design process. For the past thirteen years, one ofthese long-term design projects has been completed in collaboration with several internationaluniversities. The design teams have combined engineering students from diverse cultures
develop a baseline of where students in each programare, which will then be used to develop plans to improve writing outcomes in each program.Early ideas to improve writing across disciplines include the English faculty providing trainingon writing techniques. The authors of this paper, a professor in English with experience teachingfirst-year composition and technical writing and a chemical engineering professor who teachesfirst-year engineering courses, decided to work together to pilot this approach.Project MethodologyThe students in the first phase of this project have completed the first course in the first-yearcomposition sequence are currently enrolled in the second course as well as an introduction toengineering course.

Work-In-Progress: What is engineering? First-year students’ preconceptions about their chosen professionIntroductionInherently, one can assume that students enroll in engineering programs to become engineers(though they might not end up as one). However, they don’t become an engineer overnight.There is an entire process by which this “becoming” enfolds, requiring more than just theacquisition of technical knowledge and key skills. The process includes the development ofprofessional identity, which is the understanding of the profession and its associated roles andresponsibilities on a continual basis [1]. One outcome of the first-year experience is for studentsto develop an engineering identity, which has

Prototyping a prototype-based project with minimal equipment requirementsAbstract: This full paper describes the design, implementation, and reception of a prototype-baseddesign project for first-year engineering students in an introductory course. This project wasintroduced in a course that previously lacked authentic physical design due to the limited accessto prototyping equipment. Prior student projects were confined to design and computer modelingand simulation elements only, with hands-on activities restricted to measurement-based labs. Thenew project incorporated concept development by the students along with physical prototyping oftheir design using and a combination of reusable components and disposable inexpensive supplies.The
settings. Furthermore, OST and informal learning spacessuch as worksites, STEM businesses, science labs, museums, and imagination stations couldreinforce students’ connections outside the class. This recommendation seems fitting as someteachers had complained about not having enough time to culturally engage with students inschool-prescribed times [19]. Further, it allows teachers to build cultural ties with students andtheir communities outside the school. A paper suggested ways by which linguistic challenges with STEM can be solved forSTEM teachers and their students. Technical jargon can be taught systematically, for examplebeing intentional about helping students realize that terms such as ‘‘solve for,’’ ‘‘find,’’ and‘‘evaluate’’ are
