These studies are criticalefforts that begin to tease out the differences in first-year engineering programs and courses, butthey do not provide insight into the direct experiential impact on students.This Work in Progress paper will give an overview of our interview procedures, recruitmentmethods, and selected participant.

The agent logic employs principles used in project management tools designed tohelp the students complete their degree plan sooner. For example, it would provide a visualizationmap of course sequences, customized for each student, making advising adjustments that willoptimize the time to obtain the degree under a constrained set of resources.

; Besterfield-Sacre [14] employed model-eliciting activities as assessments ofundergraduate engineering students’ problem-solving capabilities. Despite these studies, it isstill difficult for educators to implement authentic summative assessments for first-year studentsin design classrooms. Thus, many educators employ more authentic tasks for formativeassessments and projects, but not for summative assessment.While assessing students’ engineering design process, first year engineering students are alsodeveloping the affective and regulatory competencies required for engineering success, such asself-efficacy in design, in math, and in engineering overall. Self-efficacy is skill-specificconfidence in one’s ability to succeed in spite of difficulty [15

A better understandingof the barriers that result in students disconnecting or dropping out of STEM fields is essentialfor increasing engagement and retention of STEM undergraduate students.There is a growing demand for skilled STEM workers in both the United States and around theworld. However, despite this growing need for a skilled STEM workforce, there is a highattrition rate among STEM undergraduate students, with 48% of students leaving their STEMfields (Chen, 2013).

You must have an idea of what you want tocreate and sketching is the way to get that idea down and also allows you to share your ideaswith others for critiquing.”The understanding that sketching itself is a way of thinking was very important for students torealize so they could begin using it as a tool rather than as something to perfect by showing totheir peers or instructor. Many students noted how they regretted not having more sketchesleading up to their final design project, which further underlines the newfound importance theyplaced on sketching as a tool to improve their end-product.DiscussionThe exploratory
