There are strong evidences form the literature that including the soft skillssuch as management, entrepreneurship and leadership can boost the retention and enrollment inengineering programs. Entrepreneurship education has been found to boost GPA and retentionrates of the engineering students, provides the students with the skills and attitudes needed toinnovatively contribute to the existing organizations and pursue their own ventures, and has thepotential to address current and anticipated workforce demands. We strongly believe that byintegrating entrepreneurship into engineering courses, specifically in the ones that are

The course wasdesigned to attain the following four Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs): 1. Know the operation of laser-based scanner(s) to acquire spatial, color, and light intensity data. 2. Attain intermediate-level proficiency on the use of computer software to generate virtual 3D point-cloud models

Self-selecting software remains the course standard as long as the software was within the resourcesavailable to the AE program. Over the years and amongst teams, selected software varied in typeand number of platforms relative to how teams wanted to customize their experience.Considerations for software were based on perceived benefits that the software could aid theteam towards meeting the capstone goal of designing integrated engineered system(s) solutions.Faculty observations found that software could be grouped into two overarching categories:  Design documentation software that students use to convey solutions to a

Observations are coded in 2-minute intervals until the class session is over. If the observer makes a mistake, they can note itduring the next interval, and adjust the data accordingly by hand, after class. Data isautomatically analyzed in GORP and can be exported to a spreadsheet for further analysis.The COPUS evaluation process was also part of the development of this Work-in-Progress.

as a scholar, dedicated to their course of study, hasbeen in decline since the 1960’s [1], [2]. A Bachelor’s degree was a means of academicintegration and status [3], facilitated by conventional lecture where an expert addresses thestudents using authoritative lecture style [4]. In this paradigm, students benefit from the student-mentor relationship having prepared for the interaction with intensive study. This has beenshown to be less beneficial to non-traditional students [5]. Non-traditional students come frompopulations such as community college transfer students or people who work temporary jobs thatare unrelated to their course of study [6]–[8].

A detailed exploration of notionsof care in engineering was conducted by Strobel et al. [41]. Kindness may be more active andpersonal than care, as in showing kindness to others (or even oneself), and avoids potentialconfusion around notions of care and diligence in conducting accurate calculations.

ProgramsWhile literature examining the term “onboarding” specifically is limited within higher education,programs designed to support newly admitted students are commonly described in first-yearexperience literature [20]. These programs are meant to support students’ transition into collegeand have been around since as early as the 1600’s. In fact, Harvard College implemented anorientation program that connected new students with current students in 1636 [21]. The firstonboarding programs were primarily designed to support the transition of new students into post-secondary education. Today’s onboard programs vary among institutions, but it is common tosee one- or two-day orientation programs, first-year seminars, welcome weeks, and commonbook reading
