Studies have shown that difficulty adjusting to college life for new students can lead to lowgrades and issues with persistence in completing a degree. [3], [4]. Stress can also negativelyaffect first-year students and in some cases lead to students dropping out of college [5], [6].Furthermore, studies show that students who are academically unprepared for the rigors ofuniversity courses leave school

This project provides the potential for departmental and institutionaltransformation, specifically because (i) numerous key stakeholders of departmental andinstitutional changes are key project personnel, (ii) these stakeholders will have an explicit andintegral project role, and (iii) each will have opportunities to share best practices, perspectives,and insights.

Given the motivations of these two departmentsand mutual interest of the project faculty in bridges, and Conde B. McCullough (Figure 1) inparticular, the faculty identified the potential for a field course to tour important Oregon bridges.Emphasizing those constructed to complete the Oregon coast highway, the course brings thehistory of these bridges together with their design and construction details.

Most practicing engineers do not write research papers as part of their work, they developproducts and processes and any research they do is often proprietary and therefore not published.If the composition and criteria of the search committee are not carefully designed, the department will missthe remarkable diversity available and could instead recruit candidates that would be better suited for atenure-track career.

GBL has been defined many ways in the literature, but for this study, it will refer to anyapproach that uses a game (digital or hard copy) developed to produce specific educational learningoutcomes. This is slightly different from the term “Serious Games” which generally only refers todigital games where entertainment is not the primary objective [2]. The interest of academics in GBL stems from the fact that youth are playing an increasingnumber of games, with 97% playing at least one hour per day [3].

specialists had 89,500jobs in 2016, with 10-year job outlook of 11% growth; this is better than EnvE at 53,800 jobsand 8% growth rate [33, 34]. However, there are many more degree programs and graduates inEnvSci, increasing competition for those jobs. As well, EnvE graduates can often take EnvScijobs, should they choose to do so.Thus, previous research points to a variety of factors that impact students decisions about whichcollege majors they choose to enroll in, and factors that may impact their persistence. However,it is unclear the extent to which these factors are important to the pathways of students withinitially strong interests in both environmental issues and engineering. In particular, there is alack of strong information about persistence

And because most programs provide few opportunities for students to frame—andreframe—engineering problems from different points of view, students tend to frame engineeringproblems from only one, often dominant point of view. We argue the writing process can hold akey role in developing framing practice, as it can be threaded into core coursework to supporttechnical understanding that is contextual and open to critique.In this paper, we detail our approach to and student outcomes from a comprehensive andcollaborative writing intervention. Our approach supports students to develop as critical thinkersand writers in tandem with technical understanding. Our approach builds on past research
