Engineering programs nationwide have redesigned their first-year engineering curriculum to improve retention rate and to foster students’ success. Wentworth Institute of Technology has revised the first-year engineering curricula, for 8 engineering programs, in 2021. This paper presents the designing process of a first-year laboratory course in electrical and computer engineering that was offered for the first time in Fall 2022 as part of the redesigned first-year engineering curriculum. The course aims at providing engaging, active, and hands-on academic experience and at exposing first-year students to their chosen engineering discipline to enhance first year students’ performance and motivation to continue in an engineering degree. The effectiveness of the laboratory course has been assessed using data from course assessment and from students’ feedback through an exit survey. Preliminary results show a positive impact on students’ performance and students’ success. Insights from data analysis will be used as a metric for consideration for program continuous improvement.
