The work-in-progress paper will also demonstrate how MU plans to transitionESBP to a two-week online format in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.ESBP was organized by the First Year Engineering (FYE) Office, which serves to provide allnew undergraduate students with the resources, opportunities and connections to smoothlytransition to Mizzou Engineering, but also jumpstart their future

Qualitative analysis of results involved coding for emergentthemes [1] by two undergraduate researchers and one faculty member to discover themes instudents’ understanding of the various engineering disciplines. This paper focuses on the resultsfrom a subset of 53 students, who were surveyed about their definition of systems engineering.All first-year engineering students complete a common first year course plan at this universitywhich includes engineering explorations to learn about the various disciplines.

Fewer students actuallyenroll in post-secondary education than aspire to in high school, indicating that delayingenrollment makes students less likely to attend at all [5].

Instead, developingthe students’ ST/SE knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs) via a well-planned sequence ofinterventions that take place in different courses and during different years of the undergraduateprogram may be a more desirable alternative.Although courses dealing with product design and development lend themselves to introducingST and SE concepts, mechanical engineering undergraduate programs seldom offer more thanone or two of those courses in their curriculum. Thus, to gradually develop the ST and SE skillsof the students during their undergraduate education, it is
