AB  - Anderson University is a small liberal arts university established in the Church of God movement, located in Anderson, Indiana. The engineering program started in 2013, and now has ABET accredited majors in Mechanical, Electrical, and Computer Engineering. The first semester engineering course has undergone several changes since the program’s inception, and has evolved into three corequisite courses, accompanied by a 2-hour recitation section.

The first semester engineering curriculum consists of a 1-hour lecture course (ENGR 2001), a 2-hour ME lab course (ENGR 2002), and a 2-hour ECE lab course (ENGR 2003).  Providing these two lab courses allows students to gain basic understanding of the engineering disciplines offered by the university and affords them tools for exploration of their practice. While lab courses of this sort are not entirely unique to the Anderson University first semester engineering program, some of the mechanisms and course structure differ from other programs. Students also meet for a two-hour recitation section in the evenings, which allows them to get tutoring for Calculus and Chemistry, as well as engage in engineering group projects with their cohort.

The current formulation of the first semester courses has been offered for two consecutive years. This work presents the course content with an emphasis on lab instruction, course learning outcomes, and assessment results for the first two years, along with lessons learned.
