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

detached from such a situation. 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

If the worst-case scenario is used, the assembled product would be assumed tohave as large of the tolerance as the sum of the individual tolerances or ±0.075 inches. If thedesigner would like to keep the tolerance as ±0.050, then tighter tolerances for componentswould be sought. If this is applied to all components equally over the five assembledcomponents, then the tolerance of each component will have to be set to ± 0.010 inches whichwould increase the cost of components, perhaps unnecessarily.Using the RSS method, the variation of the assembled product is calculated using the squaredvalues of the

This gap was addressed in this course.In summary, this designed course designed was to cover the four key segments ofcomputer vision systems, i.e. a) image acquisition, b) image processing, c) imageanalysis, and d) image understanding (pattern recognition). Table 1 illustrates thefour learning objectives of the course and their associated Bloom’s taxonomy. Toachieve these learning objectives, active teaching and learning techniques alongwith modified conventional lectures and hands-on laboratory activities were used.In addition to the assignments, and
