positive, both in terms of student feedback and perceived effect on studentperformance.IntroductionCapstone projects are a common way to culminate an undergraduate engineering education andin fact are required for accreditation. As outlined by ABET (Accrediting Board for Engineeringand Technology) in General Criterion 5: Curriculum, students should have “a culminating majorengineering design experience that 1) incorporates appropriate engineering standards andmultiple constraints, and 2) is based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work”(ABET, 2021). Capstone Projects have many advantages, but they can get off track for a varietyof reasons. This can fuel disparate results, both technically and in terms of students

problem byfacilitating faculty-mentored student research on unique problems through the structure of unit-bearingclasses. It was investigated whether First-Year Seminars (FYS), small credit-bearing classes targeted atthe freshman and transfer students, which are common in large universities, could provide a venue forCUREs. And it seems students demonstrated attitudinal gains related to STEM retention after CUREs areintroduced.Summary of FYS program at UC DavisFirst-year seminar courses at UC Davis have been part of the curriculum since 1978, have their coursecodes, and are purely elective courses that can be letter-graded or Pass/No-Pass graded for one or twounits. Students are limited to one FYS per ten-week quarter, and students with first-year

Though ithas generally come to refer to virtual or computer- related activities, Norbert Wiener, who firstcoined the term cybernetics [30], simply used it to refer to systems governance. It offered then,and still offers today, a powerful set of tools for thinking through interaction, influence, andorder—which made it a way of describing ecological interaction as well as machine action. Inthe words of anthropologist Gregory Bateson, who brought cybernetic theory to bear on hiswork: "The basic rule of systems theory is that, if you want to understand some phenomenon orappearance, you must consider that phenomenon within the context of all

CAD is often taught in one or morefreshman or sophomore courses and focuses largely on static geometric issues associated withparts, assemblies, and drawings. It is commonly paired with a track on drafting. SystemDynamics is often a sophomore or junior level mechanical engineering course and emphasizesapplied mathematical modeling of systems from different energy domains, incorporates suchsimulation software as MATLAB® and Simulink®, and could be enhanced by CAD.

Students Through Support and EngagementIntroductionWith the continued demand for a highly skilled and diverse engineering workforce the problemof understanding factors that influence retention in engineering remains significant. Becoming anengineering major requires students to spend considerable amounts of time and effort building uptheir knowledge base in mathematics, physics, chemistry and computation. As a result, manystudents at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College do not take actualengineering classes until their sophomore year. Based on campus data, the majority of ourstudents who switch out of engineering do so after poor performance in a prerequisitemathematics or science course in their first year

The research questionsinvestigated are 1. What is the ethical and moral “baseline” of first-year engineering students before exposure to ethics education? 2.

There is an attempt to assess the extent to which the skills acquired duringeducation are adequate for the requirements of professional employment, using publishedviews of employers and the graduates themselves. Finally, there are some suggestionsabout the implications for the future of chemical engineering education.
