, the School ofEngineering has often sought to collaborate with the Office of Freshman and TransferStudents, recognizing that engineering students are first-year students first andengineering students second. Without a solid infrastructure of support, student successwould be left to chance.Most recently, the School of Engineering has implemented an Alumni MentoringProgram (AMP) for first-year students that builds upon more general mentoringinitiatives sponsored through the Office of Freshman and Transfer Students. The goal ofthis program is to foster in first-year engineering students a practical look at areas ofcareer interest, build professional and personal contacts, and develop a supportiverelationship with a Western New England College

number of authors have studied pedagogies that improve engineering student learning. Amongthose studied, enabling students to make connections between theoretical concepts and real-world, experiential or hands-on experiences have been found to strengthen student learning formany students. Pedagogies such as problem or project based learning, cooperative experiences,collaborative learning, or community projects are examples of such. Context-driven engineeringeducation experiences, such as service learning or global education, have often been designed tointegrate experiential learning with academic subjects, with the result of enhanced studentmotivation and learning.1,3,5,14,15 One might imagine that an integrative learning experience couldalso

In these meetings, the industrial andcommercial representatives were emphasizing the need for stronger communication skills fornew engineers entering the workplace. With the convergence of these two ideas, a completeredesign of the three-course sequence was undertaken. The disconnected three-course sequencewas to be replaced by a sequential three-course sequence where each course would build on skillsand knowledge developed in the previous course.Each of the courses was targeted to emphasize critical thinking skills and problem solving skillswith two major modes of instructional focus
