Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2025
The CEAS First Year Seminar is a small, discussion-based course designed to provide incoming first-year students a foundation to thrive as university scholars, meeting with them from their first day of classes through getting back the results of their first round of midterms. The seminar is a combination of a common curriculum (40% ) exploring texts concerning creating an engineering identity, the purpose of an engineering education and the larger values of the college community (mattering, belonging, agency, ownership, inclusivity and service) and a unique curriculum (60%) in which faculty members cultivate these values through their own areas of expertise and interest. This seminar represents the commitment of dedicated faculty to help incoming first-year students become an active and contributing part of the intellectual, inclusive, healthy, inquisitive, diverse, sustainable and socially engaged culture of the College of Engineering.
