haveincorporated a value sorting activity into the second semester first-year engineering course. Inthis activity students have reflected on their personal values and completed an activity toidentify their top value. They then worked together with their assigned design project teams todiscuss their value and why it is important to them. Teams have been encouraged to use thoseidentified values as they think about how their team will operate and in writing a team workingagreement. Recently this idea has organically taken hold in most classes, but moving forwardwe plan to formally incorporate this activity in all sections. Additionally, we are planning toincorporate more explicit diversity, equity, and inclusion content as it relates to teamwork. Weplan to

COVID restrictions and having places to go it gets really hectic and hard to communicate. (Cohort 2)This inability to effectively communicate not only limited peer-to-peer discussion, it alsohindered the development of social capital (connections with peers) that otherwise would havebeen supportive of learning within the course. In some instances, this meant limited opportunitiesto conduct group work or projects. In other cases, it meant that they lacked a reference group ofpeers who are also studying in engineering and so they ultimately felt like they were strugglingalone. It really made it hard to get help with projects or talk to people and be like, hey, I'm having an issue, like maybe you're having

Here theysometimes discuss having to work on a team of engineers and take opinions from otherengineers. As shown in this example quote from a participant: “Also, as a professional engineer, I will have a lot of group projects, so it is beneficial for me to learn how to take input from others.”As the semester progresses, however, they begin to expand their ideas of who they might becommunicating with and what “problem solving

Significant time was shifted from the redesign process to address thelogistical challenges of executing the course. Such considerations were necessary but should have been ledby the redesign of the priorities rather than the reverse. In this team member’s words: I think moving the conversations about how to revamp the course beyond logistical concerns was the biggest challenge. Of course, those logistics are important

While industry mentors focusing on technical andproject mentorship through capstone projects is sometimes considered mentorship [21,22],mentorship programs with less curricular integration often focus on broader career readiness.Industry mentors are sometimes expected to assist with helping students find internships and jobs[3] or to develop professional skills that aren’t usually taught as a part of the engineeringcurriculum [23].

self-efficacy is understood to be driving self-perceptions and eventually performance in those tasks. For instance, self-concept in calculus (i.e., a domain) can be expressed as “I am able to understand and follow along the calculus classes”, and self-efficacy in calculus (i.e., task performance) can be expressed by “I am confident I can score at least a B in the upcoming test”.The above definitions for both constructs are adapted from previous research and validating orverifying them is not within the scope of this project. This study agrees with previous findings[7], [44], [45], [46], that state self-concept is a prime predictor for favorable academic outcomesand well-being as a student. Self-efficacy, although crucial for an individual’s
