Inthis contribution, we report an overview of student satisfaction toward achieving the course'sspecific objectives, the students' perception of the importance of each avenue, and theirperceptions of difficulty and time demands. We surveyed 1,499 students enrolled in programs inall four avenues of the School of Engineering and Sciences after completing the introductorycourse. The overall results of the survey showed a high level of student satisfaction. The studentsperceived that the course effectively conveyed the avenue contents and how the educationalmodel works to develop and assess competencies.

Using the Reid and Reeping taxonomy [6], the course focuses on the Math Skillsand Engineering Specific Technology / Tools domains, but also incorporates aspects from eachof the Global Interest, Engineering Profession, and Academic Advising domains. The latter threedomains are used to both expose students to the breadth of engineering and help students exploretheir interests and learn more about the engineering majors available to them. Ultimately, thegoal is to provide students with the information and resources they need to make an informeddecision about which major they want to

Furthermore, the American Society of EngineeringEducation affirms that “diversity and inclusiveness is essential to enriching educationalexperiences and innovations that drive the development of creative solutions in addressing theworld's challenges” [38]. Many professional societies reiterate these sentiments in their ownstatements.
