the quality of institutional management, additional factors have been found thatinfluence students' academic performance in STEM degree programs. For example, Russell& Zafonte [5] report that first-year students have valuable skills that enable them to succeedin their careers, such as critical thinking. Nevertheless, this study argues that studentsconsider writing skills and collaborative work less important for their career development.Regarding those mentioned above, it has been widely documented that university studentsrequire a broad set of skills to be successful in their careers. For example, it has been shownthat collaborative work helps students to promote conceptual learning, developcommunication skills, foster interdependence

The myriad entrypoints to this specific engineering program (changes in major, transfers, career changes, stop-outs, etc.) punctuate that first-year-in-engineering may not be synonymous with first-time-in-college. As enrollment patterns continue to change across higher education, it is imperative thatengineering programs are prepared to support students and the variety experiences and needsthey bring to the classroom.

Sometimes,this informal advising provides students with incorrect information or a false sense of security,which eventually adds stress and struggle to their academic career [4].Official peer advising programs are comprised of students who have received formal training,ensuring that information is accurate and resource referrals are appropriate.

Reasons that these students report leaving engineering often include poor performancein introductory coursework [6], negative experiences with faculty [7], a poor sense of fit [8], andgenerally unwelcoming environments in their schools of engineering [9]. Conversely, whenunderrepresented students experience social support, encounter role models [10], and receiveassistance navigating the engineering curriculum [11], they experience positive engineering-related outcomes. One way to provide these beneficial layers of support for students who areearly in their academic careers is through the implementation of formalized peer mentoring

The affective element of learning refers to student attitudes and mindsets thatcan influence their thinking and behaviors, ultimately impacting their learning and academicperformance.Learning and persistence in higher education, and engineering education specifically, areinfluenced by many internal and external factors [5], [6], [7]. For example, Geisinger and Raman[7] identify six factors driving students to leave engineering: classroom and academic climate,grades and conceptual understanding, self-efficacy and self-confidence, high school preparation,interest and career goals, and race and gender.

betweenengineering and other majors can leave students inadequately prepared for their careers, whenthey will be working with others from a variety of backgrounds.A culture of “engineering for everyone” can help bridge that gap. This idea has beenimplemented in various forms at other universities. The University of Dayton developed anengineering course, “Technology and the Engineering Method for Non-Engineering Students”,that introduced non-engineering students to engineering tools and methods [5]. It fulfilled ageneral engineering requirement but only for non-engineering students. Miami University tookthis concept one step further by implementing a series of general education courses that attractedboth engineering and non-engineering students [6]. These
