, and a discussion of the results.BackgroundUse of scavenger hunts in the first-year experience is not new, even within science, technology,engineering, and mathematics-focused seminar courses. As early as 1996, Gunn [4] described adepartment-based scavenger hunt assignment for mechanical engineering majors. This study, and othersthat followed, explored how such assignments can orient students to a department [5] and developstudents’ sense of belonging to [6, 7] and comfort with [5] the department. Other study topics haveincluded awareness and use of resources [6], participation in departmental organizations and activitiesfollowing the assignment [7] and retention [7]. Demonstrating a different use of scavenger hunts as alearning experience
