Freeresponse answers and direct observations show that freshmen gained valuable insights into theiracademic and professional trajectory from the seniors. Seniors gained an appreciation for how anemployer might regard their resume, and for methods of management of “employees”, whereas,up to this point in their academic careers, they had only experienced team dynamics on teams ofequals. This method of inter-cohort project development has led to significant returns for seniorsand freshmen alike.IntroductionIn general, developing a connected, communicative, and active society of students and facultywithin a department is an important aim for college educators.

. ‘Non-persisting’ students are those leaving engineering because of the academic climate, grades, self-efficacy, high school preparation, career goals, and gender or race [20]. Moreover, students leave STEM because of a lack of belonging [3], [24], “chilly” climate [25], microaggressions [26], conflicting identities [26]–[28], and not identifying with the field [29]–[31]. This literature on student perceptions highlights how their decisions are influenced by how they see themselves as being capable. This suggests how students’ perceptions affect their decisions which can be influenced by several cognitive and non-cognitive factors. Therefore, students’ observations in school inform the actions they take, and what they see as

Thecomplete list of questions can be found in Table 2. Survey question 1 (SQ1) and SQ2ascertained whether students felt they used science and math in their everyday lives,respectively. At baseline, approximately 45% of students felt they used science always or often,and approximately 75% of students felt they used math always or often (Figure 3).

higher levels of career advancement[4] andsurveys indicate that practicing engineers spend a large portion of their work time writing orspeaking; however, feedback from industry indicates a lack of communication skills in manyengineering graduates.[5] Therefore, so-called “soft” skills, recently redefined as “professional”skills, need to be learned within the engineering curricula and be transferable to the engineeringworkforce. As expected, communication is recognized as a core transferable professionalskill,[2] which is reflected in current ABET criteria[6] and publications such as The engineer of2020,[7] prompting pedagogical changes in engineering curricula.[8, 9] At the author’sinstitution, feedback from alumni surveys and the departmental

This adaptation isevident in ABET’s student outcome that states that a student will demonstrate “an ability torecognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informedjudgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic,environmental, and societal contexts” [6]. Ever since, process safety in undergraduate curriculahas been a key component in training today’s engineers for their future careers [7].
