An analysis of pre-college extracurricular activities and their mapping to engineering majors showed the disciplineswith high percentages of male students, such as mechanical engineering and electrical engineering,had more students tinkering with electrical and mechanical components outside of school prior tostarting college [3].

Mostly, mathematical models and word problems can becategorized as ritual and conceptually difficult. This means students are focused on crunchingnumbers to match the final answer without having a deeper understanding of the concept.

Maintaining dynamic yetrelevant practical, hands-on learning experiences within a virtual platform has demonstrated mixedsuccess [4].

Language acquisition isstill a developing branch of Linguistics, lacking strong conclusive results on several research ques-tions, such as the extent of bilingual advantage [4], the nature of code-switching [5], etc. However,various models of language learning [6] have been developed, with similar factors and

To effectively integrate these courses into the upper-level courses, a group of faculty members from different engineering departments, called disciples, were designated. The main duties of these disciples are: 1. providing relevant examples from each engineering major related to computational thinking, bio-inspired design, ethics, and humanities to the faculty members teaching the common first year (FCY). 2. monitoring the advancement and integration of
