This coursework includes: ● A first-year STARS seminar facilitated by STARS advising staff, which offers a space for students to reflect on their learning and educational experiences; brainstorm strategies for self-improvement; and develop “master schedules” to improve students’ time management and study skills. The seminar also provides an overview of non-STARS university resources for students such as counseling services and writing and tutoring centers. Students participating in the seminar also receive professional development opportunities through collaboration with the College of Engineering community and career centers. Engineering faculty and professionals discuss the
