These allowed us to explore their classroombelonging experiences and showed that classroom belonging is a familiar concept and a functionof two separate sources of belonging: academic belonging and social belonging. Academic self-efficacy, curriculum content motivation and an ability to share academic struggles with otherswere important contributors to academic belonging. Social similarity, successful teamexperiences and a general sense of caring were also considered helpful to building socialbelonging in the classroom. Implications and ideas to build engineering classroom belongingfrom this research are discussed.Key Concepts: social belonging, engineering identity

At the University of Michigan all incoming first-year students are required to take acourse, Engineering 100, “Introduction to Engineering,” that integrates many of these skills—design, communication, engineering science and teamwork—in the context of a semester-longproject. This course has several sections each semester, each with a different project focus. Somesections of this course go through a complete design/build/test cycle, while others, such as ours,focus more closely on the design process.Our section, Design: The Next Generation, focuses on the product design

they do. Three factors that mayimpact the project tasks that students take on are goal orientation, the roles that the student takeson or are assigned on the team, and the student’s gender. These factors may affect what a studentdoes with their time in a course and consequently can affect their engineering self-efficacy andconfidence.BackgroundHands-on project design-based courses are integrated into engineering curriculum in order togive students an opportunity to apply the knowledge they have learned in a setting that mimics aprofessional engineering workplace.
