AB  -         Advice from Coordinators of Large-Enrollment First Year  Engineering Courses with Significant Active-Learning Components       Course coordinators are typically used to manage the logistics of instructing largenumbers of engineering students. Four faculty members discuss their experiences as coursecoordinators for three first-year courses at a large public university which enrolls ~1,300freshmen every year. The first course focuses on introductory engineering topics such asproblem solving, ethics, graphing, hands-on design, programming with LabVIEW, andcontemporary issues like globalization and nanotechnology. The second course focuses ondesign and problem solving from an electrical and computer engineering and computer scienceperspective. The third course focuses on design, graphics communication and MATLABprogramming. Enrollees in each course range from 150-1600 per semester. In each of thesecourses, the format consists of one weekly 50-minute lecture in a large classroom (150-300students) and one weekly 110-minute workshop in a small classroom (30-36 students).       All three courses have elements of active learning in the form of small group discussions,problem-solving activities, and network-enabled polling and real-time collection/ display ofstudent-generated content in the large classroom settings. In the workshops, students areinvolved in group-based hands-on activities. The teaching team for each course has historicallyincluded up to 10 faculty, 17 TAs, and 15 undergraduate graders.        Each course coordinator has 5+ years of experience in the role of coordinator. The paperwill discuss tips in management of personnel, hiring and training of TAs, mentorship andevaluation of TAs, hiring and training of graders, course websites, common assignments, and therole of technology in and out of the classroom. In addition, each course coordinator willelaborate on different approaches to creating course content, to obtaining buy-in from theteaching team, to determining the degree of autonomy faculty and TAs can have, and togenerating common tests.       This paper is designed to provide useful information to those who may be coordinating acommon course for the first time and to provide new ideas for those who are already coursecoordinators.
