PEEPS is a cohort scholarship program that provides engineering students withfinancial, academic, and social support3. ENGR 101 was developed by two engineering faculty, aVISTA member, and supported by a curriculum expert, to expand the benefits of PEEPS to alarger number of students and to establish interventions and practices in engineering classroomsthat better support diversity on our university’s campus. The specific course goals were todevelop and enhance students’ engineering identity and sense of belonging within the College ofEngineering in order
