Alongside the needto research, serve the college and profession, mentor graduate students, and publish, theengineering professor has an ethical responsibility to help shape the next generation ofinnovative engineers. Meanwhile, many of their students, through no personal fault, enter collegewithout the habits of mind or self-control expected of previous generations of collegeundergraduates. New educators may find students who struggle to adapt to the model of highereducation that produced the educators. Further, college graduates must self-direct their

Many instructors chose to have their TAs grade the reflections, which became difficultfor those TAs who were unable to attend class themselves:"I think one think that would have helped was to be involved in that maybe to just have a feel ofwhat their class is like, because while I was giving feedback, I'm giving feedback as a, what willI call it, third party - I don't know anything about the course. So, I'm only able to use myknowledge of engineering to kind of figure out what's going on...So probably being in one or twoclasses that they will reflect upon would have helped to guide them appropriately."

This cohort hadhigher rates of enrollment in minor degree programs that allowed them to gather skills inspecialized areas of engineering, compared to the College of Engineering average, including lateprogram enrollment. Scholars overall seemed to benefit from the proactive element as it kept theirgrades on their mind more during the semester rather than realizing they were in a bad spot toolate. The only complaint students had about this style of advising was they still had holds on theircourse registration late into their semesters which caused them stress and sometimes made courseenrollment difficult.

. This work is implemented in an equity-minded frame to ensure thatwe support the learning and experience of all students. Students in first-year engineering designcourses often ineffectively deploy design process phases and activities, which can limit theirlearning and negatively impact the quality of their deliverables. To further encourage students tointentionally engage in the appropriate design process phases and activities, we supplement ourcurrent instruction with a new activity that includes a modified time diary and a structuredreflection activity. This work-in-progress paper begins analyzing our data to understand the roleplayed by these activities in student learning.We analyze students’ self-assessments of learning and engineering

The coordinators deliberately left out opportunities for students to exploredifferent engineering disciplines in the redesign. The previous version of the course had becomedisjointed with a variety of topics (including the disciplinary explorations) that eroded theunifying purpose in the eyes of students. Therefore the redesign focused exclusively on the fouracademic outcomes stated previously and omitted topics that were not directly relevant to theseoutcomes.
