/internships but to complement them. Our ME programdoes not have required co-op experiences, though over 75% of graduating seniors consistentlyreport having completed at least one engineering work experience. A limitation we haveobserved with our current co-op/internship system is that a large majority of students experienceonly one or two types of roles and industries before making decisions about their career options.This seems to lead to bias in decision making, where either one good or one bad experience hasan outsized effect on career decisions. The diversity of experiences embedded in the Pro-opmodel is an effort to help students experience a larger variety of roles and types of work.Pro-Day experiences include immersive experiences in local

enrolled in at least threeundergraduate courses each semester during the 2022/2023 academic year. Each of the studentswere part of a privately funded program that allowed them to participate in undergraduateresearch in collaboration with faculty members of the department of Mechanical and MaterialsEngineering. The students were paid for 10 hours of research per week throughout the academicyear. Due to budget constraint, the program is only able to fund 16 students in an academic yearafter a competitive selection process, of which 12 of these students consented to participate inthis study. The goal of the undergraduate research program is to enhance student outcomes,including retention, academic success, and the likelihood of pursuing graduate

on what may be missing from these bins. Thesediscussions provided further insight into the goals of the curriculum. Overall, this process gaveus a good starting point for developing the goals of the curriculum. It allowed us to get a varietyof perspectives from the department without burdening any one person with a lot of time input.However, the large number of inputs from many different people also made it hard to manage.Iterative process to develop curriculum Our next stage of the process involved an iterative process of surveying our department,developing drafts, and editing those drafts. During the summer of 2022, two faculty members (the authors of this paper) volunteeredto be the Q2S leads for the department. We set out
