Similarly,collaborative efforts to incorporate writing and information literacy into the teaching of thenatural sciences (e.g., biology and chemistry) appear to be more common than in engineeringcurricula [5]–[8].

Deficient education for dropouts can be reflected in a significantdecline in their future economic and social well-being [2]. Furthermore, a shortage of skilledworkers can undermine a country's productivity [2]. Currently, universities have high dropoutrates that are evidenced in the data officially presented by official institutions. According to theUnited Nations Organization, dropout exceeds 40% in Latin American countries such asColombia and Ecuador, and even 50% and 54% in Costa Rica and Brazil respectively [3].

Engineering is a cornerstone ofmodern society, driving innovation, solving complex problems, and improving the quality of lifefor people around the globe. As a field of study covering a broad range of disciplines, includingmechanical, electrical, civil, and computer engineering, engineering offers diverse career pathsand opportunities. However, the decision to pursue a major in engineering is not one to be takenlightly, given its rigorous curriculum and the demands of the profession.

Part of thepurview of many first-year engineering (FYE) seminars and other introductory courses is to helpstudents understand the field of engineering in more depth and to help students appreciate howthey can connect with and be successful in engineering. Some incoming students viewengineering as job-focused and transactional or have been directed into engineering fields awayfrom career paths more traditionally associated with self-expression, to increase their futureearnings or career stability.

Therefore, engineering identity can be defined as the construct thatengineering students and professionals construct at the intersection of their perception ofthemselves and their career in engineering [8-9]. Research shows that engineering identity isdirectly correlated to personal values that can assist in the development of becoming an engineerand their understanding of engineering as a field. This development can lead to the enhancementof the altruistic and individualistic goals of engineering students [8].
