experience is limitedto a single capstone project undertaken in their final year [13-15]. Despite the fact that engineering and scientific knowledge has grown at an astonishing rate overthe past century, engineering still only nominally requires 4 years of training (i.e., a bachelor’s degree) tobe able to enter and operate in the engineering workforce. For comparison, the number of years oftraining needed to practice law has increased from 4 to 7 and to practice medicine has increased from 3 to10 over the same time period. Given the breadth and depth of the technical knowledge students need tomaster, there are very few opportunities to incorporate additional non-technical material into mosttechnical courses, especially the engineering

This research project explores how undergraduate mechanicalengineering students develop an understanding of how their coursework and extracurricularactivities give preparation for a career trajectory in the automotive industry. Freshmen enrolledin the undergraduate mechanical engineering degree are required to complete an Introduction toMechanical Engineering course, ME110. The course is designed to be an introduction to themechanical engineering profession and overviews engineering fundamentals, CAD basics,professional development, and other related skills. An initial assignment these freshmencomplete in this class is to imagine their future career and the steps that they will need to take toachieve it by way

These studies highlight the significance of these psychologicalfactors in shaping students' academic performance and learning outcomes in the field ofmechanical engineering [2][4].Several strategies could be employed to improve self-efficacy and motivation in MechanicalEngineering students. One effective approach is the implementation of active learning strategies[8], [9]. Active learning methods, such as flipped classroom model, problem-based learning,collaborative projects, and hands-on activities, have been shown to enhance students' self-efficacy and motivation by providing them with opportunities to apply engineering principles inreal-world scenarios [10], [11], [12], [13], [14].

From spring 2020 through summer 2022, most instructors were soft in assessingstudent knowledge due to COVID pandemic. During this period, students took most exams onlinewithout an effective proctoring system. Moreover, in many cases take-home exams or projectsemployed to assess students’ knowledge. The greatest challenge for instructors was to maintainthe academic integrity of their exams [12, 13].

While the commitment to JEDI inengineering curriculum is clear, the task of embedding this knowledge into engineering courses,many of which traditionally contain highly technical content, may seem overwhelming.To help engineering and computer science programs tackle this issue, an NSF funded five-year,multi-institutional project was run with the purpose of developing activities to embed intechnical curriculums that both promote inclusive engineering identities within undergraduatestudents and highlight the benefits of diversity in professional environments [3], [4], [5].

Additionally, there has beensignificant and inspiring work to understand how students may learn better from open-endedproblems [27], [28] and project-based courses [29], but significant barriers prevent theirwidespread adoption [6], [7], [16], [28].
