The active learning via project-based, activity-based, and service-based courseswithin the first-year engineering curriculum has proven effective for students not only to becomemore engaged and motivated but also to experience increased learning and retention. Generally,first-year engineering courses are meant to create student experiences that are meaningful, open-ended, and hands-on in addition to being an introduction to working and communicatingeffectively within teams. Whether one is an experienced educator or not, looking for projectideas to adapt

(FYEPs) due to evolving employer expectations and thebenefits that develop from engineers equipped with an EM. The Ohio State University honorsFYEP includes a semester-long design project to help students synthesize engineering concepts,create a coherent product, and further their EM development. Two of these first-year designprojects are a robot design project and a nanotechnology research project. For the robot designproject, students develop autonomous robots that complete a series of tasks within a two-minuteperiod. For the nanotechnology research project, students design a lab-on-a-chip and explorenanotechnology applications in medicine. Both projects provide a vast number of experiencesthat support the development of an EM.The goal of this

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.

Teamwork plays a central role in the experience ofstudents in many first-year engineering design programs. The first-year design class at DukeUniversity revolves around student teams (typically four or five members) working on aspects ofa client-based project. Although most teams in the course function reasonably well, there existareas for improvement: respectful communication among team members and ensuring that theperspectives and skills of all group members are appropriately valued.
