摘要：In this paper, we report on a study to quantify students’ attitudes towards the common first year program offered at the Schulich School of Engineering. A survey of students from all four years of each of the School’s seven BSc programs is performed to determine if the common first year program is achieving its objectives from a student perspective. More specifically, the survey focuses on both student opinion and student behaviour with respect to the common first year and program selection. Students are asked to provide their input on benefits of a common first year (i.e., as a foundation for engineering studies and exposure to the range of engineering disciplines) and its role in the program selection process (i.e., if a different process is preferred, and how their program selection choice was impacted by a common first year).
