designed to assist students with self-efficacy beliefs and personal goals.At this University all engineering and computer science students take an introduction toengineering course that covers the engineering process, teamwork, communication skills, thedifferent branches of engineering, ethics, and co-curricular and extracurricular opportunities.Section sizes are ~30 students, so students can build community with peers and their professor.The professor of the Introduction to Engineering course is the academic advisor for his/her set ofstudents. Students declare or confirm their major by the end of the first semester. Resources tohelp students choose a major include laboratories, advisor meetings, student panels, a semester-long team project

In addition, noother first-year course is mandatory for all first-year engineers (e.g., students with appropriateAdvanced Placement scores do not enroll in Calculus I). Each survey was one of severalassignments that could be completed for credit, and so not every student was required toparticipate. In alignment with the ethical standards required to protect participants in research inpsychology, students were given the option to complete the survey for points toward their grade,but elect to exclude their data from analyses from our research without penalty.

[7].Emotion has been taken out of engineering education, which in part drives the need to “re-humanize” engineering through multiple perspectives and diverse thought [8]. Dym et al., (2003)expand further by identifying the importance of reframing problems in engineering design. Byfocusing on the non-technical complexity of the problem, students learn not to oversimplifyproblems, but to design with social, ethical, and multi-disciplinary concerns in mind [8].Encouraging students to flex their creative skill within their respective classes, rather than solelythrough sparse elective requirements is vital to enhance their approach problems such that itincludes a multitude of perspectives.

Physical copies of music are largely not in demand, with the exception of certaingenres of music like heavy metal. It is thus helpful for students to learn where their currentforms of music enjoyment came from, and how they have evolved to where they are today. Thecourse has thus expanded the music acquisition topics to include the impacts of the internet onmusicians, record labels, and consumers, as well as ethical and legal arguments that have arisen.In a similar way, music creation has also been changed forever by the online technologies thatnow exist.

However, the workloads were judged to be heavy as the studentswere required to not only become familiar with the idea of a real-time operating system, but werealso being asked (some for the first time) to implement a complex hardware system on a shorttimetable. The students during this term dealt with high stress levels as they moved deeper intothe material. For some students, the high stress situations led to a stronger work ethic and anincreased sense of team responsibility. For others, it deepened the divide between members oftheir team who seemed more ahead of the curve and members who seemed to be lagging behindor not pulling their weight. This had an obvious impact on the final product that was eventuallydelivered. During
