Similarly,collaborative efforts to incorporate writing and information literacy into the teaching of thenatural sciences (e.g., biology and chemistry) appear to be more common than in engineeringcurricula [5]–[8]. Because writing is an essential skill for professional engineers, introducing andpracticing engineering writing skills early in a student’s academic career is an opportunity toincrease

Deficient education for dropouts can be reflected in a significantdecline in their future economic and social well-being [2]. Furthermore, a shortage of skilledworkers can undermine a country's productivity [2]. Currently, universities have high dropoutrates that are evidenced in the data officially presented by official institutions. According to theUnited Nations Organization, dropout exceeds 40% in Latin American countries such asColombia and Ecuador, and even 50% and 54% in Costa Rica and Brazil respectively [3].

Therefore, engineering identity can be defined as the construct thatengineering students and professionals construct at the intersection of their perception ofthemselves and their career in engineering [8-9]. Research shows that engineering identity isdirectly correlated to personal values that can assist in the development of becoming an engineerand their understanding of engineering as a field. This development can lead to the enhancementof the altruistic and individualistic goals of engineering students [8].

the quality of institutional management, additional factors have been found thatinfluence students' academic performance in STEM degree programs. For example, Russell& Zafonte [5] report that first-year students have valuable skills that enable them to succeedin their careers, such as critical thinking. Nevertheless, this study argues that studentsconsider writing skills and collaborative work less important for their career development.Regarding those mentioned above, it has been widely documented that university studentsrequire a broad set of skills to be successful in their careers. For example, it has been shownthat collaborative work helps students to promote conceptual learning, developcommunication skills, foster interdependence

The myriad entrypoints to this specific engineering program (changes in major, transfers, career changes, stop-outs, etc.) punctuate that first-year-in-engineering may not be synonymous with first-time-in-college. As enrollment patterns continue to change across higher education, it is imperative thatengineering programs are prepared to support students and the variety experiences and needsthey bring to the classroom.
