Our work usessurvey data from before and during the Covid-19 pandemic to compare changes in students’engineering identity and examine how students’ reported Covid-19 stressors were associatedwith engineering identity during the pandemic. Our work focuses on the first and second-yearexperience of engineering students, as these two years are critical to academic success andretention in the engineering field. During these transitional years, students begin to bridgeconnections to peers and faculty, develop motivational beliefs, and make career choices(President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, 2012; Oseguera et. al., 2019;Robinson et al., 2019; Jones, et al., 2010).

Engineering EthicsIntroduction and a Brief Literature Review The safety and security of the public rely on the professionalism of engineers. As notedby the National Society of Professional Engineers (2022), “the services provided by engineersrequire honesty, impartiality, fairness, and equity, and must be dedicated to the protection of thepublic health, safety, and welfare” (para. 1). Given these considerations, it is not surprising thatsome – though certainly not all – engineering disciplines feature professional licensure with aneye towards safeguarding the public (National Council of Examiners for Engineering andSurveying, n.d.). In this spirit, engineering program accreditor ABET (2021) has prescribed astudent program outcome for

Therefore, maintaining the interest in engineering for first-year engineering (FYE)students is critical to promote student retention in

However, this reviewsuggests they might also be considered ‘linked’ when considering PSTs’ perceptions ofSTEM.

The solution to both these problems was to have the final project design reviewsubmitted as a video posted to the class LMS site, as well as assigning each student to postconstructive criticism to 2 other groups’ videos that had been randomly assigned by theinstructor.
