In contrast to the 200-level experience, students earlier in their academic path aremore diffuse in 100-level math, physics, and chemistry courses that also serve other STEMmajors and include no direct instruction on how course content is relevant to their career goals.Opportunities to build community around engineering are up to individual students to seek out inextra-curricular opportunities such as student clubs. This challenge is amplified for most WCCengineering students who must complete 10-20 credits of prerequisite math and physicscoursework before credits apply toward their eventual Bachelor of Science degree.Table 1 illustrates the differential

Academic integration is a measure of the students’ perceptions of their academic experiences with faculty, counselors, and administrators, as well as perceptions about their career preparation at their institutions. Self-regulation is the awareness, knowledge, and control of cognition. It includes the students’ ability to control their effort and attention in the face of distraction and uninteresting tasks [5] which also may reflect the potential lack of motivation seen in the pandemic generation [6].• Academic performance goals as measured by GPA were met with recent cohort
