GIFTS: MAJOR exposure through engineering innovationsAs a first-year engineering instructor on the first day of class, someone invariably asks whatdiscipline of engineering they should go into. Not knowing the particular background of theseindividuals, it is difficult to give them meaningful advice on the spot. First-year students (andtheir parents) have an expectation that the first-year course will “help” them decide whatdiscipline the student should major in. However, introducing students to various fields ofengineering may not be the main foci of the course, as many first-year programs have evolvedtowards the inclusion of curricular content such as design, entrepreneurship, writing, and/orprogramming. This leaves little

greatest discomfort with thelevel of ambiguity in the possible answers and data analysis approaches. Intentionally pushingstudents beyond their comfort level in this way was motivated by exit interviews of seniorstudents in which they expressed a desire for earlier exposure to the uncertainty of realengineering problems.Figure 3 – Highway Design Case Study Figure 4 – Coffee Processing Case StudyInstructional team support is delivered in several ways. Some students prefer to learn softwaretools in a face-to-face, small group setting. Students have optional scheduled sessions with theinstructor and TAs present, to which they bring their laptops and work through the case studies.Some students prefer online support, and videos were

modules anddesign activities are not closely aligned. In order to create a more unified experience, this paper discusses a new framework to guidethe creation and implementation of design projects for the first 8 weeks of EDSGN 100. Thisframework identifies project characteristics necessary to create a clear connection between thecontent from the modules and the successful execution of an engineering design project.Connecting the existing modules through carefully curated projects is intended to provide studentswith a more cohesive EDSGN 100 experience and allow them to clearly see how seeminglydisparate elements form the unique professional identity of an engineer. The remainder of the paperis organized as follows. Section 2 overviews the

the five-week time frame, there was no graded write-up ofthe experiment, but students used information learned through the lab in their final countryreports. Alginate is a polymeric compound that can be extracted from all brown algae [5] and isused in the food industry as a thickening and stabilizing agent. As an illustration of its properties,the students made alginate gels in different shapes- beads and worms.Students started with a beaker of calcium chloride solution and a beaker of sodium alginatesolution. The alginate solution is a viscous liquid, but when small amounts of it are added to thecalcium chloride solution, it congeals into a gel, and this happens quickly enough that the gelmaintains the approximate shape of the introduced
