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

Only a few studies includeddefinitions of these two terms. According to Larvive 16, “animation” is a form of cartoon used tohelp one visualize a difficult concept, in place of a description of the concept in words; and“simulation” is a program that accepts inputs, and simulates experimentations via
