, What’s Next?” Thishigh impact practice (HIP) is used to help students process their experiences, gain perspective onthem, and use them as a basis for future action. The benefits to students as a whole are growth intheir ability to craft reflections and in their feelings of inclusion (as measured by the LongitudinalAssessment in Engineering Self-Efficacy (LAESE) survey instrument). Students find the programhelpful in envisioning their future development, citing conversations with faculty and peers asessential in helping them consider their career options. Students in the “hands-on” fields ofengineering technology see the benefits to reflective practices. Introducing regular reflection intotheir curricula can help their personal and professional

during the decadesleading up to the Internet era. Beginning in the mid-1980s, the field of engineering educationstarted to respond to numerous reports that there needed to be changes made to engineeringeducation. An increased emphasis on synthesis and design, open-ended problem solving,development of management and communications skills, professional development, and career-long learning were all included in this call for change. This response was in reaction to aperceived need to correct a multiple decades long emphasis on engineering science that occurredpost-World War II, tilting the engineering education field away from engineering practice andthe new realities of a global economy that demanded skill sets not emphasized at the time [8
