The advising SLOs were developed by a faculty committee charged by ourprimary faculty governance body and cover academic and career outcomes across the entirecurriculum. The first year advising SLOs span three areas: (i) design a curricular plan, (ii)prepare a future plan, and (iii) assess your learning strategies. These outcomes are summarizedin Table 1.This work in progress paper describes the pilot structure of the first-year advising program andthe planned assessment process.Methods/Project ApproachSix tenured faculty advisors were selected to advise all first-year students (approximately 100students) across our eight major programs.

, there are a number of studies that have adopted goal orientation as aframework to investigate engineering students’ motivation [21]. Most of these studies, however,targeted graduate, undergraduate, or high school students, and little research has focusedspecifically on younger children. Meanwhile, research on children’s engineering design anddesign thinking (e.g., [22]) and related motivation constructs, such as identity or attitude (e.g.,[23]), has increased in the past few years. Often featuring hands-on, project-based tasks andlearning experiences, engineering design activities provide opportunities for children to work onreal-world challenges using engineering tools and materials within contexts that focus onproblem-solving and systems

The goal of Dr. Morkos’ manufacturing research is to fundamentally reframe our understanding and utilization of product and process representations and computational reasoning capabilities to support the development of models which help engineers and project planners intelligently make informed decisions. On the engineering education front, Dr. Morkos’ research explores means to improve persistence and diversity in engineering education by leveraging students’ design experiences.

Alternatively, a polichronic culture relates to time in a non-linearfashion and is more concerned with the people involved and the completion of a project, as opposedto the order of events sticking to a certain schedule. As such, the degree to which a late policy isflexible may be well-suited to some students’ way of relating to time and go against the grain forothers, causing frustration.

However, this would give a point tostudents who did no runs or almost no runs. Thus, we can introduce further policies, likerequiring at least 5 runs to earn any IncDev points, or like requiring at least some test cases to bepassed.4. ExperimentsWe ran experiments on historical data, namely the final project lab from our past CS1 courseoffering in Spring 2021, in a 100-student section.

For example, a student may have both an academic self-concept and an engineering self-concept, as well as a problem-solving self-concept.The role of identity in the retention of engineering students can be focused more specifically onthe role of engineering self-concept, which with its focus on skills and abilities, has a directbearing on engineering self-efficacy. Various pedagogical approaches seek to exploit thisrelationship, such as project-based learning, inquiry learning, and design-based learning [3], [4].Social Learning Theory posits that people observe and imitate the actions and behaviors of thosethey perceive as having the same or higher status [18].These
