same ABET Accreditation category as ours -“Engineering (Bachelor of Science)”A review of the projects reported in the literature associated with first-year engineering designcourses reveals fairly good consensus on several elements. Not surprisingly, most design projectsprovide a problem statement for the students to start with (i.e. they are not tasked withidentifying a need) [2-16, 18-19, 21-26]. Providing a problem statement addresses studentinexperience with the EDP. On the other hand, the few projects that require students to identify aneed naturally focus on entrepreneurship [1-2, 5, 17, 20]. All projects reported in the literaturerequire students to work in groups to complete the design process. Certainly, this provides ameans for

degree program: a blocking factor score and a delayfactor score. The blocking factor score for Course A is the number of courses that a studentcannot enroll in (i.e., they are “blocked”) if the student does not pass Course A. The delay factorscore for Course A is the number of prerequisite courses in the longest prerequisite pathway thatincludes Course A. The cruciality of Course A within the degree program is found by addingCourse A’s blocking factor and delay factor scores. Figure 1 below depicts the blocking factor,delay factor, and cruciality of a course visually. Finally, a total score for the structuralcomplexity of the degree program is calculated by adding together the cruciality of all courses inthe most efficient pathway to completing

personal connections they may notshare with a more senior mentor. Near-peer mentors are often perceived as more in tune with thestruggles of their mentees [1] and more approachable than an individual who identifies as an“expert” scientist [2]. Examples of near-peer mentoring relationships in academia include anupper-level student and a first-year student, an undergraduate student and a graduate student, or agraduate student and a new faculty member. Near-peer mentoring can positively affect both the mentor and the mentee. Studentmentees have stated that they feel more comfortable asking a near-peer mentor for academic helpthan they do a professor [3] and believe access to near-peer mentors promotes success in theircoursework [4].

for some students.This is because opportunities to practice drawing FBDs have traditionally been in the context ofhomework, using problems sourced from a textbook. This type of learning environment suffersfrom drawbacks because (1) the process of drawing FBDs is not scaffolded into discrete tasks(e.g. isolating the body), (2) the ability to practice only a particular task is not possible, and (3)feedback is not immediate. The lack of immediate feedback is a particularly important issue, asimmediate feedback is necessary to prevent students from reinforcing bad practices and has beenshown to be an important factor in learning [1,2].Although learning to reliably draw accurate FBDs is difficult for most students, women may beat a disadvantage

Other less commonly cited motivations forpursuing engineering are job prospects post-graduation, general interest in engineering, and a desire tocontribute to society. While these motivations portray a general understanding of how engineering isperceived as a job, they do not mean that they have a meaningful understanding of the profession. In fact,the literature suggests that most students do not actually understand the nature of engineering practiceupon entering a program, nor do they have any knowledge of the history of the profession (e.g., whymany practicing civil engineers need a professional license to work in the U.S.) [1-11].
