The frameworkof this project is to study and address several institutionally identified attrition points including:(i) high attrition of first- and second-year students, (ii) slow pace of students to matriculation intothe Civil and Mechanical Engineering programs, and (iii) low participation and completion ratesof women, underrepresented minorities, and first-generation students.

Even though mycareer in FIRST, or more specifically, FTC, will eventually come to an end in my first technicalchapter, I can continue to build on more advanced technical skills and utilize them when tacklingmore challenging tasks in the near future.

]. Outside ofthe classroom however, this becomes an issue as engineering students have significantexperience with the mathematical and scientific side of problem solving and little to noexperience developing critical design thinking skills that can be applied to any range ofproblems. This lack of experience in design thinking can lead students to doubt their abilities andprofessional place in their industry [4, 5]. The problems presented to engineers in industry often cannot be solved using the familiarpath taught in lecture. Thus, recently graduated engineering students who have learned solelythrough lecture based courses are underprepared for a career in engineering that utilizes creativedesign thinking on a day to day basis [4].

, sustainability courses were notintegrated into prescribed undergraduate or graduate engineering curricula, and in some cases this mayhave been due to a lack of resources. Rather, students independently sought ‘special topics’ to supporttheir interest in sustainability. This lack of emphasis on sustainability contrasts the descriptions ofin-person exposure to sustainable technology which ultimately steered those individuals towardsustainable engineering careers. The instructor’s sentiment that “people are willing to learn but you needto show them why it’s important,” echoes McCormick et al.'s work from 2015 [21]. They found that“participation in more experiential, enriching learning,” improved the value students place on sustainableengineering and their

We define the major stakeholdersas the student, faculty, and engineering practitioners (or firm/agencies) that will employ thestudent.Students value opportunities to “practice the engineering profession” and have exposure toengineering processes through authentic projects [5].

For example, reflective practices such as the ones seen inGoldberg et al. (2015) and Goldberg et al. (2021) can provide healthy lifestyle changes tostudents that benefit them well in their student careers. The significance of the results mentionedis easy to assume and is only further established within the paper. We believe that implementingthese interventions more regularly can provide easier communication between students andteachers and future testing can better show this in other courses as well.Group work has shown mixed results and even the significant ones are not
