The greatest attrition of engineeringstudents is experienced during the first year, when students are often engaged in non-engineeringclasses and thus have no identity as an engineer offered to them

This perspective highlights the importance of real-world experience in defining one's professional identity in engineering. Omar's views align with a common understanding in the field that engineering is not just about theoretical knowledge but also about applying that knowledge in practical, often team- based, contexts. Initially, he had a vague understanding of engineering, which evolved through coursework, especially in [Engineering Course XY], to a clearer view of engineering as design and problem-solving.
