Over 300 students responded to the survey.Responses from students fell into 7 themes that were used to design a system based oninstructional design theory to help students discover more about themselves and the College ofEngineering. They were: 1. What would I like to do for the rest of my life? 2. I had no problem deciding, because I always knew what I wanted. 3. I was very worried about the workload; I wasn’t sure I could do the work required. 4. I always knew I wanted to be an engineer but I did not know what the different kinds of engineers did. 5.

This is a time that thestudent can practice, without serious consequences for making mistakes. Therefore, the university’s role in providing programs to prepare students to not only belifelong learners, but also leaders, has gained a greater significance in the last ten years. In orderto meet industry’s growing demand for future technical leaders, university sponsoredundergraduate engineering leadership development programs have been increasing steadily.

Data and Data Science require new IT graduates to demonstrate theirmastery in data acquisition, data management, and data inference skills when they enter theworkforce (Mithun & Luo, 2020). Thus, introductory programming courses such as databaseprogramming and design represent crucial milestones in IT education, as they reflect students'ability to solve problems and design appropriate solutions (Skala & Drilk, 2018). But, for noviceprogrammers learning SQL programming and logical database design concepts is a challengingtask because while writing SQL programs, students not only have to apply theoretical conceptssuch as syntax and semantics but also practical concepts such as problem-solving at the same time,which results in cognitive

Additionally, STEM interest is almost three times higher for boysthan girls1. Female students’ ratio in STEM fields is around 20% all around the world1.

We show howcollaborative efforts have been made by multiple faculty members to immediately teach studentsuseful skills and guide them in the understanding of engineering design principles in the area ofembedded systems. With the combination of these methods, students with minimal math orprogramming backgrounds were able to independently initiate, design and develop technicallychallenging projects for a nationwide competition.
