their habits of minds and frames of references. This paperexplored the extent of transformative learning experiences in a first-year engineering program ata midwestern (USA) institution. The study employed two instruments to assess transformativelearning: the Learning Activity Survey (LAS) and the Transformative Outcomes and ProcessesScale (TROPOS). The LAS assessed whether and to what extent the first-year engineeringexperience has led to a perspective transformation in the students. TROPOS evaluated students'overall transformative learning outcome, focusing on four subscales: social support, attitudetowards uncertainty, criticality, and transformative outcomes. Analysis of the LAS datafacilitated the categorization of students into four
