necessary to develop impactful, innovative, and successfulengineering solutions [9]–[11].In addition to preparing engineering students to successfully address modern engineeringproblems, the inclusion of comprehensive engineering skills in the curriculum has implicationsfor students’ engagement and persistence in the field. Students’ engagement in their field as wellas their plans to pursue an engineering career or engineering graduate education is determined inpart by an alignment between their personal and professional interests and values in engineeringand curricular messages about what engineering practice includes. For some students, thepotential to leverage engineering for social good is a key motivation for pursuing work in thefield [12

/internships but to complement them. Our ME programdoes not have required co-op experiences, though over 75% of graduating seniors consistentlyreport having completed at least one engineering work experience. A limitation we haveobserved with our current co-op/internship system is that a large majority of students experienceonly one or two types of roles and industries before making decisions about their career options.This seems to lead to bias in decision making, where either one good or one bad experience hasan outsized effect on career decisions. The diversity of experiences embedded in the Pro-opmodel is an effort to help students experience a larger variety of roles and types of work.Pro-Day experiences include immersive experiences in local

explored the tremendous potential of ITS in providing a student-centeredlearning experience to undergraduate and graduate engineering students. Essentially, we intendedto give the engineering students an experience of learning sketching at their own pace and tim-ing and replicate the experience of having a human tutor. Sketching is a valuable skill for en-gineering students, and also difficult for instructors to teach and provide individual attention tostudents. Students receive real-time personalized feedback on the sketches they draw using theITS. Through this study, we got an opportunity to gather details about user experiences from bothgraduate and undergraduate engineering students from three diverse institutions.
