This presentation describes the result of a collaboration between several faculty members on two campuses to develop a course that will equip first-year engineering majors with the skills and strategies they need to succeed in STEM courses. Supported by a Complete College Georgia Incubate grant, this course, to be offered in fall 2016, is rooted in literature on self-regulation and active learning and is based on a similar model that promoted student success and engagement among first-year biology and chemistry majors. Conference participants interested in learning more about engaging first-year programs and how they can adapt them for their own institutions are invited to attend.
