American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Enhancing the Educational Experience in Introductory Engineering CoursesIntroductionThis paper outlines the restructure of the content and delivery of an introductory engineeringseminar course for first-year undergraduate students using core service learning projectexperiences to shape early student learning of engineering design and practice. The First-YearSeminar in Engineering (FYSE) is a critical entry-level course for undergraduate engineeringmajors in accredited degree programs (accreditation by the Accreditation Board of Engineeringand Technology (ABET)) at institutions of higher education. The course is designed to orientnew students to the University and introduce engineering as a

All engineering students are brought into the First-YearEngineering Program that is part of the Department of Engineering Education.They are required to complete a common first year core of classes matriculating to theirrespective engineering major (Jeremy, 2006). As the industries and societies that revolvearound faces mind-boggling challenges especially if one works with Informationtechnology, manufacturing, oil or gas. They need for engineers in this field are veryacute. Federal stimulus spending in such areas as energy technology and infrastructureshows an increase in demand. But there is still

Every year,ASHRAE awarded grants for its senior design grant program4. The program is intended toprovide engineering and technical schools with funding to build and test HVAC relatedexperiments in senior design classes. ASHRAE awarded up to $5,000 for the project to cover thecosts of materials, instrumentation and fabrication for the project. The instructor must submit thegrant proposal to ASHRAE in early December and ASHRAE made decisions on the proposal inearly March. If

boring), especially in the first few years of coursework. This is because engineeringand technology majors take courses in science (physics, chemistry), mathematics (linear algebra,calculus, differential equations), computing, and economics (economics, engineering economy).In these courses, students are generally taught methods and are not exposed to the applications ofthese methods until later in their education. Unfortunately, it is difficult to motivate studentswhen they do not see how their work applies to the real world [1].We have previously reported on the use of The Wall Street Journal [2], among other mediasources, in the classroom in order to motivate students and improve the learning environment forstudents in engineering economy

Thispractice may lead to a mismatch between the student's learning experience and later employmentexpectations. Therefore, while the traditional unit operations laboratory ought to remain anintegral part of the chemical engineering curriculum, the instructional material should bemodified to adapt to the increasing use of information technology in the chemical processindustries.

Incomparison, full-time graduate study leading toward a research oriented career oftenappears far less attractive than the immediate and highly visible rewards offered forspecific entry level engineering skill sets. As a result, the number of engineeringgraduate degrees awarded has dropped in recent years1.While direct entry into a graduate program is not for everyone, it must be encouraged forthe nation's top research-oriented students to ensure sustained technological innovation.In order to encourage our most promising scholars to consider graduate school, factorsthat discourage them from
