We also plan to collect data from thestudents of these first-year programs using an exploratory survey. The questions on the survey willseek to gather information about students’ initial interest in engineering prior to enrolling in theirrespective institutions, their general perception of the first year courses they have just completed,what their intended majors are, what types of activities they engaged in during their first yearcourse and if/how these activities fueled or increased their desire to continue to pursue theirengineering degrees.References[1] S.

So far, we have seen encouraging results,active participation and liking among the student participants as shown in Table 1.Since this was started a year ago, we plan to conduct future surveys to track whether thesestudents used the Makerspace in the future semesters since the time they were exposed to thefacility as part of this FED101 course offering.

The final project involves constructing a warehouse robot that can: receive remoteinstructions and broadcast findings wirelessly, visually identify a location, plan an efficient path,navigate an unknown warehouse layout, identify a product, and coordinate all of these actionsbetween multiple devices. This project is designed to require knowledge developed in each of thespecializations, thus leveraging and requiring the expertise distributed throughout the group.Approximately 70 students are enrolled in this section.Methods:Using data from surveys, interviews, student artifacts, and class observations, we are conductinga mixed methods
