Peer mentoring is beneficial for first-year engineering students to help increase belongingand social integration [11], [12]. Peer instruction is an evidence-based instructional strategy thatleads to increased student mastery of problem-solving and conceptual reasoning [13], [14].Furthermore, peer instruction has been demonstrated to improve student performance, reduceanxiety, enhance attitudes, and improve retention of course material, and it is effective inimproving student achievement for members of historically marginalized groups [15], [16].Overall, combining peer instruction in a classroom environment with mentoring on strategies toconnect to undergraduate research

The human-centered engineering program started from a desire to have an integrated sciencecurriculum, noticing that funding agencies were increasingly supportive in the areas of energy,environment, and health. By combining integrated science with Boston College's mission toserve the common good, the faculty arrived at a desired program of “integrated science inaction,” or, in a word, engineering. The engineering program is housed within Boston College'sMorrissey College of Arts and Sciences, meaning the resulting curriculum
