engineering students are required to complete a one- or two-semesterlong capstone course sequence that emphasizes integration of concepts and material fromprevious classes in the completion of a substantial design project. Education researchers havealso recognized the potential benefits design experiences can offer at earlier stages of anengineering curriculum, including introductory level courses [24, 35]. An important benefit ishelping to make clear to students at an early stage the importance of and linkage between thesupporting math and science courses they are required to take and the engineering field whichthey have chosen to study [10, 25, 32]. Design experiences completed early in the engineeringcurriculum can also make technical course

racism.Collaborative problem-solving experience is a key quality sought by most employers. It is welldocumented that effective teamwork can facilitate career progression, often leads to moreinnovative solutions, and has the potential to increase job satisfaction. Throughout theirundergraduate education, students are tasked with team-based projects to provide this requiredexperience, however they are rarely provided with the skills to be a successful team member andleader. Ambrose et al. [3] highlight that in addition to content knowledge, teamwork furtherrequires higher-order qualitative skills such as task delegation, conflict resolution, and contentsynthesis. Furthermore, research shows that stereotypes and biases towards women and studentsof color can

matter who they are, theyare not alone, and they belong in engineering if that is what they choose to study. Additionally,there will be at least two touchpoints during the semester where freshmen and upperclassstudents see each other’s work. For example, at lesson 15, freshmen will be invited to observe asenior capstone project design review of an engineering discipline of their choice. Theinteraction with seniors, only three years removed from their freshman year, are expected to beanother means to nurture belonging in those taking the first-year course.Helping students connect their personal identities to their engineering identity is one way toincrease persistence [27]. There are several opportunities within the course to highlight thebenefit

[1]. Today, manyfirst-year students typically have little hands-on experience related to engineering [2]. Manyhave never used common tools before and do not know how common devices, such as carengines, actually work. Stephen Belkoff, an engineering professor at Johns Hopkins, noted thelack of practical skills for incoming freshmen, “These are all A students, and it took two days tobuild a shelf from Home Depot and get it @$$-backwards” [3]. While they are generally verycomputer savvy, incoming freshmen have little experience with engineered equipment. Studentsdo get experience with equipment in a variety of labs and in their capstone projects during thecourse of their college careers, but neither of these may be with actual equipment used

evaluating specific characteristics of thementorship experience itself [7]. Other mentorship within engineering programs is designed to support career or industrymentoring, usually for upper-level students. 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]. Evaluation of these programs is often driven by surveys and may explore whichcareer-readiness topics are being
