ratio in the college made it challenging for academic advisers to focus onin-depth conversations with students during advising appointments. Academic advisers foundthat during their limited conversation time with students, they were addressing issues that weremore common in nature. Advisers were looking for a place to refer students to discuss thesecommon advising topics, such as learning university systems and selecting general educationclasses so a student’s time with the adviser could be focused on more substantive discussions.Keeping the above goals in mind, the following mission statement was created to guide theprogram: The Peer Advising Program will advance the College of Engineering mission by offering technical and advising

]. The ability of human beings to beempathetic towards one another and create designs with other people in mind may become evenmore vital in the age of artificial intelligence. This necessitates its inclusion in engineeringclassrooms. Flanagan found that through the incorporation of empathy into first-year engineeringcurriculum, students begin to think about whom they are solving problems for and their role incommunicating with those stakeholders [5]. This paper will further examine this phenomenon byinvestigating how empathy modules in a first-year class affect engineering identity. If there is ashift in the role of an engineer that the student is identifying with, how does that interact withtheir engineering identity?Theoretical Frameworks

Therefore, we decided to develop our own. Thisprocess began by reviewing the course outcomes (listed above) and identifying activities whichcould support students’ achievement of them. We sought to be particularly mindful of theworkload, as our orientation class has zero credit hours. Some, such as outcomes 2 and 4, werecovered in other assignments. However, outcomes 1 and 3 were sparsely addressed and assessedin the orientation curriculum, and thus became the primary goal of the passport. The activitiesdetailed in Table 1 were identified to meet course outcomes 1 and 3

In addition, the academicand demographic diversity in the classroom enhances our activities and discussions.With all of these goals in mind, we developed two first-year engineering courses. One class,APPL 110 Design and Making for Engineers, focuses on design and fabrication through a seriesof design projects using the campus makerspace. The second class, APPL 101 ExploringEngineering, provides an overview of engineering, while focusing on other aspects of the designprocess, such as biomimicry to brainstorm design ideas, modeling and simulation to addressdesign questions, and

, designing a freshman programaimed at improving engineering self-concept is comparable to subduing the issue at its point oforigin. Having educators administering such mindful techniques to influence and buildengineering self-concept aims for the benefit of students. Improving engineering self-conceptamong freshmen requires that we educate future engineers to identify with the field, understandwhy their job is important for humankind, and have the motivation to persist in their career.ConclusionThe sampling of relevant research based on the set criteria for this systematic review resulted in16 papers that addressed the constructs of self-concept or self-efficacy. The analysis in this papercarefully delineated the features of these constructs into a
