students are able to build their knowledge bases andskillsets. Yet additional analysis is necessary to evaluate students’ true perceptions of their first-year experiences. To address this knowledge gap, focus group interviews and surveys wereconducted to gather reflections and input from upper-level students. Outcomes from thesubsequent analysis are intended to provide deeper insight into the value that students place ontheir initial experiences with engineering at the college level, allowing educators to betterinvolve first-year students in class while at the same time prepare them for their chosenprofessional pathways. The following research questions drive this study:After experiencing higher-level engineering coursework . . . 1) What value

deficiencies with a second senior design project, problem-basedlearning (PBL) exercises were developed to introduce more students to fluid power using theexisting gantry crane. The PBL modules were implemented in junior and senior MechanicalEngineering courses including Mechatronics, Fluid Mechanics, and Heat Transfer. After the PBLactivities, direct assessment with a common rubric was used to evaluate the quality of problemsolutions and student surveys were used to qualitatively assess the effectiveness of the PBLexperience. The assessment results indicate that the PBL activities contributed to studentlearning both on concepts introduced in class and on problem solving skills which requiredsynthesis of material from class.IntroductionAs part of

Lastly, we show overall grade trends in the course and qualitative information on finalproject complexity as the course has evolved. Our conclusion is that this proposed frameworkhas potential to begin to address the university shortcoming of autonomous vehicle engineeringeducation. Overall, this paper provides a perspective for educators and academic policymakers toacquire insights into how to develop an autonomous vehicle engineering course. Future workincludes developing a blueprint for an autonomous vehicle certification program composed ofseveral

Thus there is clearly a place for simple one- tothree-minute student engagement activities. Additionally, there are those moments when a morecomplex and nuanced activity is in order to demonstrate or emphasize course content. Theseactivities may require anywhere between a quarter to a full class period. Finally, there are thoselearning moments where a simulation of real world problem solving or discovery is in order.These are activities that can take a substantial amount of class time or even span multiple classperiods.As the faculty development facilitation team began to plan and organize the structure of acomprehensive
