Anna Holcomb is a lecturer in the School of Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) at Georgia Tech focusing in first-year innovations, transfer student acclimation, and professional and technical communication. Operationally, she serves as Assistant Director for the School’s Undergraduate Professional Communication Program (UPCP). Anna has extensive experience conducting research within K-12 STEM education environments and brings this expertise in educational research to her instructional practice. She is currently pursuing a Doctor of Education in Higher Education Leadership and Practice at the University of North Georgia where her research focuses on the experiences of faculty outside the tenure track.
This Complete Evidence-Based Practice paper will present the launch of an innovative discipline-specific, first-year discovery studio within an undergraduate engineering program amid pandemic-related turbulence. This paper will outline how the originally conceptualized course was adapted for online-hybrid instruction, lessons learned executing studio-style instruction asynchronously, and best practices for first-year engineering education developed as a result of ECE Discovery Studio’s unintended multimodal launch year.
