]. Understanding the divisions of culturein engineering education gives us the ability to understand how students interact withtheir fellow students and authority figures such as professors or deans, how they learnand understand within their respective discipline, how they develop the necessary skillsto apply in their careers, and how they operate across disciplinary boundaries [9].However, these skills that are sought to be understood may be affected due to factorsexternal to the academic responsibility on the part of educational institutions [10]. Inrecent years the pandemic Covid-19, has revolutionized many aspects of the world atlarge, among these, education [11].

Generation Z college students also view college as away to lead a career with purpose; therefore more likely to be motivated by the change they can make inthe world. They also have specific challenges which are important to consider, the primary example beingthe stresses and losses derived from learning within a pandemic [2]. Generation Z students are also themost diverse generation in modern American history. In honoring a commitment to support studentsuccess, it is important to consider these strengths and challenges. In addition, the weed-out culture ofengineering should be replaced with a culture that supports the success of a wider

This will preparestudents for their future career, lead to knowledge creation and help solidify concepts taught inclass.This full paper analyzes data (approximately 15.5 hours) that was collected in the form ofrecordings of zoom meetings of two groups that were tasked with solving an ill-definedmodeling problem in a second year statics course.

Students learn the importance of standards in ensuring product quality, reliability,and safety, and develop the skills needed to apply these standards in their future careers. Additionally,exposure to technical standards in the classroom can help prepare students to work with a wide range ofindustries and sectors that rely on technical standards.

To some degree, any safety exposure is good exposure, but there remains a need to growstudents’ mindsets on safe practices and approaches to situations. Our aim with our consistent safety momentdelivery is to be more encompassing and engaging so that safety is always in their mind in some form.Approach to Delivering Safety Moments We start every class with ‘it’s time to start with a safety moment’ (students are audibly joining ourannouncement by the time we get to ‘safety moment’).

Today, data is more easily accessible and possible to assembleand analyze, including information such as water, energy, and carbon footprints of actions (e.g.,drive vs. fly) and material choices (e.g., aluminum vs. plastic). Once students are armed withknowledge of environmental impacts of engineering, via modules like the one we developed,they are more likely to be motivated towards action [10]. As such, students will be betterprepared to make environmental and ethical decisions which will meet the needs of the NSPECode of Ethics, particularly code III, 2d [1]. Furthermore, students who learn about sustainabilityand LCA better understand how each topic will play a role in their future careers [11].Future assessment

Academic integration is a measure of the students’ perceptions of their academic experiences with faculty, counselors, and administrators, as well as perceptions about their career preparation at their institutions. Self-regulation is the awareness, knowledge, and control of cognition. It includes the students’ ability to control their effort and attention in the face of distraction and uninteresting tasks [5] which also may reflect the potential lack of motivation seen in the pandemic generation [6].• Academic performance goals as measured by GPA were met with recent cohort
