AB  - In a 15-week semester at Wentworth Institute of Technology, the utilization of digital tools and technologies in first-year engineering courses has proven to be quite beneficial in response to the demanding requirements of higher-level classes, the engineering profession, and the broader technological landscape. This paper, currently a work in progress (WIP), aims to highlight the importance of integrating digital tools and technologies into the curriculum for first-year engineering students. Digital tools such as CAD, simulation and modeling software, virtual laboratories, interactive learning modules, SharePoint, data analysis and visualization tools, and programming environments offer diverse opportunities to enhance the learning experience, engage students, and prepare them for the challenges of engineering practice, particularly in the higher level classes. These tools enable students to visualize and experiment with complex engineering concepts, conduct experiments remotely, access interactive learning materials, collaborate with peers, analyze and interpret data, and develop programming skills. Through the integration of digital tools and technologies, first-year engineering students can benefit from hands-on learning experiences, gain opportunities for collaborative learning and communication, and prepare themselves for the digitally-focused modern engineering industrial world.
