Their responses will be explored with a thematic qualitativeanalysis to answer the research questions above. The lessons continue to be adapted to thiscontext and are being taught to all sections of the course this semester. A rollout to all incomingfirst-year engineering students is planned for the Fall of 2023, so this analysis is ongoing, and allconclusions drawn so far are from Fall of 2022 and are denoted as a WIP.Definition of EmpathyDuring a pilot study in the Fall of 2022, 59 first-year students in the honors sections of“Introduction to Engineering” at a large R1 university

The course exploredengineering mechanics and design topics concurrent with applying physics topics in anengineering laboratory. A qualitative analysis was performed using a new reflective tool,PhotoVoice. The purpose of the assessment was to better understand the impact of the course onthe student vision, the operation of the course relative to what they have encountered in theireducational careers, and student-perceived learning outcomes. Analysis of student reflectionsrevealed themes of “Changed Perspectives,” “Engagement in the Classroom,” and“Brainstorming Benefits” when describing the impact of the course on their career visions

This is followed by a discussion of thecareer-ready competencies identified by the National Association of Colleges and Employers(NACE) which are listed in Table 1 [10]. After review of the outcomes and competencies,students are asked to reflect on the competencies in which they are most confident at this stage oftheir education and then participate in an exercise to assess the competencies needed whendeveloping a new product.The Poll Everywhere platform was used to crowdsource responses to the question, “Which of thefollowing competencies have you developed during your first year at the university or based onyour

The video was created by two students whohad taken the course in the previous year. It presented background information, mindful teachingabout inclusion, some discussion of the students’ personal experiences in the course, and anintroduction to the activities. The three activities that were developed were (1) a communicationgame, which allowed students to practice clear and respectful communication, (2) a teamworkand collaboration game, which aimed to show that each member of a team had somethingvaluable to contribute, and (3) a reflection and

Prior to forming groups and as part of the Handbook, students are asked to reflect ontheir identities, strengths, communication and conflict styles. As part of this, they complete aseries of self-assessments [12] and generate an asset map where they give thought to how theirlife experiences, not only educational experiences, will benefit a team. For an example of whatan asset map looks like, see examples in [4], [13]. Further, students read several articleshighlighting diversity and engineering and write a short

comment shows an example of an aspect of financial literacy that our undergraduate students may need help to improve their personal finance and money management skills. • When students were asked about cash flow and net worth from a business perspective for Learning Module 2, students were able to identify strategies that could result in greater income in a particular scenario. For example, a student proposed a low interest loan to improve the security system of the business after merchandise was stolen. Another student reflected that it was better to look for lower cost options or to rent another studio for the business instead of lowering the quality of the product being sold. Another

Students Sense of belonging statistically increased across the first semester for cohorts 2015 and2016, remained statistically the same for cohorts 2017, 2018, and 2021, and statisticallydecreased for cohorts 2019 and 2020 (fall 2020 is the COVID-cohort). Of particular note is thatthe largest decline in sense of belonging over the course of the first semester was during the 2020COVID cohort year. This suggests that the first-semester social experience for the COVID-cohort may havebeen negatively impacted and was reflected in their reported sense of belonging. While the effectsize is small for all cohorts, the 2020 (COVID-cohort) reported the highest effect size withCohen’s d = 0.30, up to three times larger than in previous cohorts

However, because Marsh [43] used academic self-description questionnaire toassess self-concept, it was adapted and reflected in this review.

management (n = 8),transitioning to college (n = 5), and commuting (n = 3). Time management, especially coupledwith transitioning, was a main issue in the beginning of the semester. Specifically, studentsstruggled with balancing responsibilities in their lives (e.g., spreading out assignments andreadings instead of waiting until the last minute, study life versus work life, exercise, sleep andwaking up schedule). Being commuters affected academic performance and health. Due to a longcommute, sometimes students came to classes late, missing critical class information. Thisimpacted their understanding of the subject matter, and it was reflected in their low grades.Similarly, after a long commute back home, they only had limited hours of sleep. This
