Description
Guiding students through their first six weeks of college, from their first day of classes through their first round of midterms, the First Year Seminar provides Engineering students with a foundation to thrive as university scholars. The discussion-based seminar examines how students can approach their university education in order for it to be a healthy, challenging, rewarding transformative experience. As a one-credit course that meets on a 3-credit hour meeting pattern for the first third of the semester, this seminar has both a common curriculum taught across all sections and a unique curriculum determined by the interests, passions and concerns of individual instructors. The common curriculum and assignments explore a series of key questions fundamental to a successful university education:What is its purpose? How do you thrive as a unique individual and a member of multiple communities? Who tells your story and what does it mean to be the author of your own story and a co-author of the College’s collective story? And what does it mean to ask these questions in a technological world—both as consumers of tech and future producers of tech?The unique portion of each section, determined by each instructor, will focus on some aspect of students’ relationships to knowledge, learning, things and desire.It is required of all first-year engineering students living in the Engineering Connections residential community.
