The time requirement is selected such that the mentors are thorough in the content.Since the First-Year Engineering curriculum is revised continuously to improve the quality andrigor, it is critical to have mentors who know the material well. Once the prospective candidatesfor mentoring are determined, an email invitation is sent to all the qualified students prior to thebeginning of the semester. Interested students respond back with their interests and availabilityand are then hired as peer mentors. Usually, the mentors are compensated for the mentoringwork

Students will have the same lectures andcourse materials, accompanied by opportunities to work in small groups both on their homecampus and virtually with students and faculty from the partner institution.To provide more specific background knowledge that is important for data scientists, we are alsodeveloping new “short courses” that allow students to build skills in areas not typically includedin their primary degree programs.

which the curriculum tends to focus on the science ofengineering much more than the application. The traditional design capstone sequences result inpaper designs, leaving students wanting more experiential learning. This experimental projectscapstone course sequence is an attempt to address that in a more engaging way for the studentsthan a traditional senior lab course series. Due to the research focus of the capstone, EML wasan obvious choice for improving the course sequence. The core concepts of the EM frameworkwere already in the courses, so it mainly required adjusting the terminology.ImplementationLike most capstones, AE 4510-11 already requires more work than the students wish.

However,ECE 301 has pre-requisite relationships to several later courses in the EE curriculum because thematerial in this course prepares students for more advanced topics. The breadth of the course andthe need to integrate many knowledge bases—including physics, geometry, calculus, andcircuits—can contribute to an inherently challenging experience. ECE 301 instructors share acommitment to wanting to support students through this course.

The benefits of this approach can be summarized as follows:  Individual accountability for success as an engineering student  Setting the goal of graduating with an engineering degree and developing a plan to achieve the goal will result in more efficient students, potentially reducing the time to graduation, and reduce the number of students who “drift aimlessly” through a curriculum  Students will perform better in all courses  The skills students develop to be an effective engineering students are the same skills they need in their later career  Learning to apply general student development topics from the course to their personal development planThe focus
