programming. To my knowledge, the new ENGR 102 curriculum corrects for this by a) teaching in Python, and b) teaching basics of coding a specific language. I believe this to be a much more appropriate approach to teaching coding, especially for students who had no prior experience, such as myself” [6]. • “I think ENGR 102 was a great course to ease students who don’t have any coding experience into coding. There reason for this is because this course solely focused on coding. I took ENGR 111 [previous first semester course] and in this course, we were taught more than just coding which made it hard to just focus on learning that new skill” [6].Graduate teaching assistants

This course was identified as a good starting point because it is oneof the first engineering courses taken by Mechanical Engineers at Michigan State University.This is the first place that the Mechanical Engineering department can create a student culture ofvaluing professional communication. Additionally, at Michigan State University, the sophomoreyear is often a year where students receive little or no writing or
for the needed preparation, aninterview can be conducted live or asynchronously, through video or face-to-face, and the subjectmatter can span any assessment topic the professor seeks to capture (see Appendix B for additionalcontent). In project-based learning courses, progress interviews can serve as a mechanism forstudents to make guided partial progress, reiterate their process to affirm correctness of theirapproach, solicit feedback in a low-stakes assignment and in advance of grading of the majorproject assignment, and request input from the professor. An ePortfolio is another element usefulin the hybrid project-based course as a tool to perform assessment, moderate progress, andencourage creative thinking. In some cases, very similar to
education has been widely noted. Thishas been driven by the need to develop a wide range of skills such as innovativeness, creativity,and problem-solving in engineering students to succeed in today’s technology-driven economy.Increasingly, graduates are expected to adapt their complex problem-solving skills to align withthe modern-day multidisciplinary practice of engineering [1], know how to integrate theirscience and technical training to enhance industrial practice [2], and successfully navigate futurechallenges through continued innovation [1]. As noted by Torres, Velez-Arocho, and Pabon [3],“The contemporary engineer must be able to (a) effectively communicate orally as well as [in]writing, (b) be capable of working in multidisciplinary teams

minimumpercentage to earn a B in the course. Basic achievement of the SO is set to be 73%, the minimumto earn a ‘C’, as students are required to average at least a 2.0 to graduate.There are two measures that will be employed for testing student success based on this masterygoal. The first measure is to take the average scores course-wide and compare against the masterytarget. A higher average than the target suggests that the majority of students exceed theperformance goal. The second metric is to evaluate each student individually to see if they exceedthe mastery goal. Ideally every graduate of our engineering program should demonstrate masteryin each of the 7 SOs. Both measures contribute to both assessing the efficacy of the courseinstruction and
