This pioneering program is a collaborative effort between the Fulton Schools ofEngineering (FSE) and the College of Health Solutions (CHS), aimed at providing tailoredsupport in the form of peer mentoring, social engagement, and career readiness. Whenengineering students enroll in the EASE program and begin their college education at ASU, theyare paired with two peer mentors, one from FSE and one from CHS. The mentors first focus onthe transition to college by helping their mentees find relevant resources. Then, the mentors startprioritizing assignment organization, planning, and other executive functioning skills. Thestudents will have

Work-life balance (WLB) considerations were found to be very important to currentU.S. civil engineering students (e.g., “I don’t want to spend an excessive number of hours at myjob”) [7]. Concerns about WLB impact STEM students’ planned career trajectories, includingthoughts about leaving STEM [8]. Thus, engineering’s common reputation for being “all workand no rest” [9] should be of concern to faculty.Mental Health ModuleDuring the COVID pandemic in fall 2020 the University of Colorado Boulder (CU) required thatall incoming first-year students learn about mental health issues in a course

Doing so by educating others on gender issues in STEMand supporting resources which aim to directly impact achieving gender equity.

The focus on students’beliefs provides an alternative to the challenge of interpreting student mindsets from theirbehaviors and actions [18], while the use of quantitative methods provides a chance to detectdirectional relationships in the development of students’ critical engineering agency.
