ExperiencePurposeThe national effort to remain a leader in scientific exploration and technological developmenthas redoubled educational efforts to not only introduce students to the field of engineering atyounger and younger grade levels, but also to place more effort on retaining the students whoultimately choose engineering as a career path. As a result, more institutions are placing a highervalue on first-year engineering introductory courses, a key component of retention at theundergraduate level [1].However, with engineering being an incredibly broad field, there is relatively little agreementfrom institution to institution, and often from department to department within the same college,on the content and skills to address in a first-year course [2, 3

In many cases, engineering students approach discussionsaround their career interest as a generalized interest in helping people, society or to improve theworld, with expertise in math and science as the resource they draw from. Some know thesubject they want to address, such as improving the environment through renewable energy.Some just know they want to help people live a better life through technology. Yet, oftentimesthe typical 18-year-old college student is lacking in experience, global awareness, and a sense oftheir own identity.
