Creating a Peer Advising Program to Increase Engagement with Pre-major Engineering Students (GIFTS)This GIFTS paper will describe how the Engineering Advising Center (EAC) within the Collegeof Engineering at a large mid-Atlantic university is actively creating a Peer Advising Program.The Peer Advising Program will serve as an innovative advising approach to increaseengagement of pre-major students within the College. Once admitted, Engineering students gothrough an entrance-to-major process and generally declare a specific major at the end of theirsecond year.The Peer Advising Program will meet the students’ need for information and provide a peersystem for this exchange. Peer Advisors will offer technical and low

We intentionally developed activities thatchallenge students’ thoughts and beliefs, so they connect their actions as students to their lives asworking professionals.We first examine ethics on a global scale by considering engineers’ roles in promoting globalhealth and wellbeing through sustainability. Students learn about green design andmanufacturing strategies through assigned readings, a video on cradle-to-cradle design, andgameplay. Students play the In the Loop ® board game, which teaches players about the finiteresources necessary for devices such as LCD screens, MRI machines, and wind turbines [1].Throughout the game, players develop strategies to manage limited resources using circulareconomies.

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

Full Paper: A Systems Engineering Approach to Conceptual Design in a 1st-Year Engineering Program1st-year engineering students engage in three projects over the course of the fall and springsemesters. In the fall semester students build, test, and present at an exposition an Arduino-basedgame. While students are provided the design for the game, they are strongly encouraged tomake creative modifications. Following this, students complete a reverse engineering activity ona simple household appliance or medical device. The result is a CAD model of the device and adetailed report, typically of about 40 – 50 pages. Students work in teams of three or four on bothprojects.In the spring semester work consists of a
