However, students many not encounter these subjects through their requiredengineering courses until their junior or senior year, typically during a capstone design course.While opportunities exist for students to learn about innovation and entrepreneurship throughelective courses, these options are not typically available to first-year students or do not fulfill arequirement for their academic plan.First-year courses are the cornerstone experiences that expose students to foundational conceptsand foster the development of skills necessary for students to succeed in their field of study andultimately their career.

A student poorly matched tothe program will eventually be turned off and leave, having taken the space of someone whomight be truly interested, and wasting your time and theirs.Our primary target audience at our information session has been existing college students whomay not be completely settled on their direction.

DevelopingDMPs will also be required in the student’s future professional careers. However, there is not aclear consensus in these literature RDM courses on what exactly a DMP is and how it is used.As a result, there is not clarity on what to teach graduate students in a RDM

This result is supported by commonly cited findings that engineerturnover is partly due to a lack of understanding of the big picture and “boring work” (or a lack ofappreciation for engineering functions beyond hands-on, engineering design). A national,Canadian survey showed similar results [5]. The most common reason for engineer turnover(voluntary and involuntary) were related to conflict with the role itself, including the engineer’sdesire for a career change, job satisfaction and feelings of the role being a poor fit. Accordingly,researchers, educators, industry, government and accreditation bodies all posit the need forsystemic and transformative change in engineering
