students’ favorite activity and can increase their interest to learn.In both the lecturing and in-class activities, the strategy “think-pair-share” was used to promotestudents’ enthusiasm and learning. At the end of each class, an individual quiz was normally carried outto test students’ learning outcome. The instructor revealed answers right after the quiz to give studentsreal-time feedback. On top of all these, homework was assigned on a weekly basis with 3-5 questions.Preliminary FindingsThe Fall 2017 FYrE cohort included 55 students students from Civil, Mechanical and ElectricalEngineering and Computer Science, who were divided into two sections. All the materials used were thesame for both of the sections. Aligned with what has been reported
