These topics can be used as a preliminary guide for creating a first-year engineeringeducation primer. They are also relevant for the update of ASEE FPD and FYEE call for papers.Table 2 can be used as a basis for the 2020 call for papers, and it might make sense for the callfor papers to be the same for FYEE and ASEE. These summary topics can be used to plan futureconferences and compile papers into sessions. A committee of past ASEE FPD and FYEEProgram Chairs, a conference workshop, or some other panel should review and refine the initialfindings in this study.

To ensure variety across the class, the faculty identified five regions: South America,Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. Each team was assigned a region and instructed to choose acountry located in that region. Note that North America is excluded because one of the purposesof the project was for students to learn about a country that was different from their own andaccount for regional and cultural factors that could impact their proposed plan to grow algae or tomarket specific

Our work focused on middleschool students as research shows that interest in STEM decreases through middle school [1].The planned intervention is based on existing theory and research on motivation, as well as theemerging body of literature on integrated STEM instruction. Research shows that relevance isessential to student engagement in science and mathematics [2]. Research also indicates thatthere is a link between students’ interest and experiences in school and their future educationalcareer choices [3,4] . Therefore, engaging students in engineering activities where they solve realworld problems motivates them to learn science

the average rating in the traditional classroom. The main reason for that is asfollows: Although the conventional teaching module is adopted in the first stage (the first sixweeks), the teaching contents are smaller but with a more comprehensive teaching syllabusthan the flipped one. Therefore, students have better commanding and application of theknowledge taught in the traditional classroom. In the flipped module, teaching chapters cover70% contents of the teaching plan. Because of the flipped module, the video content uses thefragmented form under dispersed teaching, leading to students' relatively weaker mastering ofknowledge than in the first stage, which explains the second phase of the test scores showinga slightly decreasing trend

To accomplish this, we will continue to track a single cohort ofstudents from material balances through the remainder of their career in the chemicalengineering program. We will keep track of student retention, subsequent courses and respectiveinstructors, as well as performance, attitudes, and external experiences such as research orinternships. We also are in the planning stages of a more homogeneous course model for materialbalances. The revised course model will focus on exposing students to problems that engage thefull spectrum of learning styles. As learning styles describe the cognitive processes involved ininformation gathering and problem solving, we believe it is important to teach
