Given the impact of authenticexperiences, we sought include a community-inspired design project within our first-yearengineering program. During spring semester 2023, students sought to develop something to aida person with some kind of disability. In order to help students identify the needs from thatgroup, students were given the opportunity to travel to local care facilities, schools andemployment locations to take tours and talk to critical stakeholders.

Although many engineering programs take pride intheir commitment to math and science, engineering faculty are frequently at a loss for wordswhen articulating (if they try to articulate) a coherent vision of what engineering is, its place inthe world, its method, its knowledge and practices, and its values. Thus engineering faculty arecomfortably rigorous when it comes to math and science, but they are less so when it comes toconceptual matters.9 Of course, there is a discipline devoted to

engineering ethics from first-year students.BackgroundBucknell University is a predominantly undergraduate institution with a College of Engineeringsituated within the liberal arts context. The College of Engineering enrolls approximately 200students each year, currently divided among eight degree programs (Biomedical, Chemical,Civil, Computer, Computer Science, Electrical, Environmental, and Mechanical Engineering).ENGR 100 is the introductory course required for all incoming first-year engineering studentsand open to students in the other two colleges - Arts and Sciences and Management. This courseis one of four courses in the common, first semester curriculum for all engineering students.The college-wide ENGR 100 course was recently revised by an
environment for novice students, even those fromoutside of engineering, to develop and practice their design and manufacturing skill [11], [12],[13], [14]. Past research indicates that peer mentorship creates a supportive and inclusiveatmosphere for novice learners, encouraging both skill acquisition and personal growth.Mentorship programs could benefit by employing rubrics and structured frameworks to assessand enhance design competencies, such as system design, implementation, project management,and documentation. Sheppard et al. [15] proposes longitudinal studies as critical to understandingthe progression of design skills from novice to professional levels. One of the primary goals ofmentorship programs is to improve student retention in

Consistent with many “freshman support” programs at other universities, the goals ofthe course are to introduce the midshipmen to the “big picture” of the major for context; tointroduce the midshipmen to each other and develop a mutual support network; and, to provide“tools” for success in follow-on courses. These tools include technical writing, critical thinking,design process, project management, computer programming and software, and engineeringdrafting skills. There is a significant project-based learning (PBL) component to the course. Theassignments include both individual and team submittals. The double “lab” schedule allowsmuch of the

Results from the analysis are presented suggesting a statistically significant impact ofthe intervention on self-management skills when comparing randomly assigned teams with andwithout the intervention. The intervention is designed to be scalable so that it can be embeddedinto existing project-based courses. Our findings have important implications for thedevelopment of teamwork skills in engineering courses and provide evidence of a successfulstrategy that can be integrated into the existing engineering curriculum.KeywordsVirtual teams, team effectiveness, information and communication technologies, engineeringeducation, collaborative learningIntroductionThe

, indicate that the workshop series did not have a significant impact on the participationrate in clubs or students’ sense of connection to engineering. The workshops may have had asmall positive influence on the sense of belonging of first-year engineering students; however,the specific impact of the workshops could not be evaluated independently of other factors due tothe design of the survey instrument. Despite the limitations of this study and areas for futureimprovement, the workshop program allowed the majority of first-year engineering students toengage directly and positively with clubs at least once during the semester. In the future, we hopeto continue the workshop series given the positive student feedback and more rigorously evaluatethe
over the course of an undergraduate program in civil engineeringAbstractUnderstanding and using the engineering design process is a core aspect of any undergraduateengineering program. Typically, incorporation of the engineering design process begins early inthe engineering program and is showcased in a culminating experience or capstone. This Workin Progress paper includes preliminary insights into curricular practices for two courses in a civilengineering degree. The first course is a one-semester, second-year seminar lab that was recentlystructured to integrate engineering design into activities that were traditionally non-design innature. The engineering design process is woven throughout the course in three labs
