Methodology While there is a broad literature related to engineering education in first-year engineering[9], [10], [12] , there is gap in the literature regarding the development of narrative pedagogies inthese settings. This research provides practical perceptions and experiences about theresearcher’s experience implementing a new pedagogy in first-year engineering and the findingsfrom this study will be used to foster further discussion about FYE and story-based pedagogy.Therefore, this study is designed to investigate the following research question: To what extentdoes narrative pedagogy influence the development and implementation of the curriculum infirst-year engineering courses?

According to a report from the CoordinatedScience Laboratory at University of Illinois [5], "there is a strong need for curriculum reform inundergraduate systems and control engineering education. Moreover, it is the responsibility of theentire control engineering community to undertake this reform and to develop curricular materialsto support it." The reason for the need is that "most engineering curricular provide opportunity forundergraduates to be exposed to control engineering through only a single course… with a focusprimarily on analysis and design of linear time-invariant systems.

This research explores textual resources from a situated learning lens allowingidentification of concepts that are relevant to engineers as they design a specific transportationfacility. It also initiates the identification of contexts relevant to the day-to-day work ofpracticing engineers.

As such, newcomers tend to learn via the perspective of their mentors,and- as cited by studies of newcomers to

In fact, Lorena’s grandfather had used the knowledge of his Black Mexican ancestors to create a homemade version of the seed plotter that Lorena helped him build and others in the community replicated their design. There was one experience that had a dramatically different impact on Lorena: The only time others saw me as an engineer and I could be myself was when I worked with an Afro-Boricua community near the school.

The next lab period, they test various material properties of those polymers, relatingthese observations back to the structures they now know well. The course material is technicaland challenging. Students enjoy the challenge, whereas the course previously taken by second-semester freshmen bored many students because they found it too simple, and repetitive of thefirst-semester freshman design course. The new interdisciplinary course has been successful intwo years of being taught.

Our objective is to develop in students more critical thinkingand an instinctive sense of when a component no longer functions as expected.
