AB  -         Constructing Community, Content, and Confidence (C3) to            Enhance First-Year Success and RetentionThe modern engineering cohort is much more diverse in terms of ethnicity, gender,preparation, and expectations than in previous years. This creates various challenges forengineering programs in terms of both student outcomes and retention. One approach tothese challenges is presented here: a first-semester zero-credit seminar for allengineering students. The seminar seeks to build a foundation for student success inengineering, or elsewhere within the institution. The underlying premises and activitiesreflect national data and an understanding of adolescent development. Seminar is apartially flipped classroom with diverse activities that engage four types of students in C3.These types are generally described as: I) discipline-informed and motivated, with agenerally strong student skillset, II) motivated with a generally strong student skillset, III)motivated with a generally weak student skillset, and IV) poorly motivated with avariable skillset. The seminar successfully addresses the issues and needs of each group.It reinforces Group I without being perceived as “onerous busy work” whilesurreptitiously providing C3. Group II profits from discipline specific information and asGroup I. Exposure to content and confidence are the prime outcomes for Group III.Reflection Assignments are of greatest value for Group IV wherein they build confidencein their choice and capability. Assessment reveals that the zero-credit first-semesterseminar has been successful.
