provide students with the opportunity to work in teams on a project in collaboration with a faculty advisor. Overall, senior projects are a valuable component of undergraduate education that helps students bridge the gap between theory and practice and prepare for their future careers. A senior project is an opportunity for students in the field of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) to apply the knowledge and skills they have gained throughout their academic career to solve real-world problems. The objectives of a senior project are to provide students with a platform to demonstrate their creativity, critical thinking, and problem- solving abilities while enhancing their technical knowledge and practical skills

Through this process of hands-on experimentation, the students can gain holisticperspective that will allow them to develop a more profound understanding of the scope of theirwork and elements involved. Lastly, this encourages skill development that introduces complexdevices that have practical applications which can then lead to a career path that aligns with theirinterests or goals.

This kind ofrelationship fostered a sense of belonging, which is key in helping students stay in school andpersist to graduation. Faculty mentors provided guidance and support with academic, career, andpersonal issues, helped students stay on track and proactively address any challenges or issuesthat arose. They also provided information about academic and career opportunities, helpedstudents develop networks, and provided resources to help them succeed. Mentoring proved tobe a key motivator of retention and graduation for our students. This aligns with the literature

Informal advising happens peer-to-peer in the residence and dining halls, on thebus or even at the gym. On occasion, informal advising can lead students down an incorrect path,causing them additional stress and struggle during their academic career [2].Official peer advising programs ensure that students are getting assistance from peers who aretrained, ensuring that information is accurate and resource referrals are appropriate.

The need for improved integration of professional standards inengineering education has been long recognized [1].The inclusion of standards in the senior capstone course is part of the ABET accreditationprocess for engineering programs [2], and many students begin to develop a deeperunderstanding of the importance of codes and standards through the capstone experience.

She wasn’tinterested in pursuing a career in the technical-focused engineering field, but after seeing theconnections between engineering and social justice, she had a change of heart and wasreconsidering that decision: I also learned that engineering can involve social justice issues as well.

Indeed, one of theeffects of the updated ABET criteria implemented in 2000 was to call increased attention toengineering ethics in the undergraduate curriculum [2]. McDonald noted that while virtuespecifically cannot be taught, and must be wanted on a personal level, the ability to make ethicaldecisions is distinct from (though related to) virtue and is a skill that can be developed [3]. In2005, Dyrud [4] emphasized the importance of ethics in engineering education, and describedhow it can affect performance both in later courses and in future careers.
