: Lessons-to-Date and Next StepsIUPUI has been involved in first-year experience courses for several years. Indeed, theengineering and technology programs at IUPUI were early-adopters of this approach, and, asgreater coordination has emerged between these two areas, some lessons-to-date and next stepshave emerged.There are four primary lessons learned so far. First, while engineering and technologydisciplines focus on different approaches to technical issues in upper-level courses, there exists aneed to equip all first-year students, regardless of program-of-study, with a common orientingexperience. This ensures that students are provided with consistent information about college-level expectations, and are given appropriate advice, direction, and

Descriptive statistics areused to analyze the demographics of both the students on the central campus and on remotecampuses throughout the state. This comparison will guide further research at other institutionsand local program development. It is anticipated that results derived from this analysis willprovide more support for those that believe engineering technology students and engineeringstudents are demographically very different and engineering technology students at the maincampus vs. remote campuses exhibit additional differences.

As there is little information available in the literature about technical currencyand its relationship to student learning/success, no comparisons can be made with theliterature. However the results reveal that the EET seniors perceive that each sub-construct of faculty technical currency (in terms of in terms of up-to-date technicalknowledge of subject matter, computer hardware and software skills, knowledge of newand emerging technologies, publication of technical papers and textbooks, and,participation in technical seminars, workshops and conferences, and professionalorganization activities) is important for their learning/success, though effect
