: “This Is Rocket Science”There is strong evidence in the literature [cf., 5, 6] that retention to graduation in highereducation is improved by interventions and engagement in the first year. Such first-yearinterventions might take the form of a “low-stakes” course that includes close interactionbetween faculty and students, and/or connecting to student clubs and university research labs.The “This Is Rocket Science” first-year seminar (FYS) is designed to provide just suchopportunities for engagement.

There is also evidence that programmaticorientations (e.g., entrepreneurship, business, and community engagement) affect students’ethical perceptions and decision-making [16]. In addition, research on a service-learning designprogram found that a human-centered approach utilized in that program helped students orient toethical considerations, motives, and decisions, yet the students tended to narrowly focus onethical concerns linked to interactions with users while struggling to explicitly see the salience ofethics for their day-to-day design work [17].Previous research continues to reveal novel insights about engineering students’ understandingsof ethics and social

design capstone course is an important experience for engineering undergraduatestudents. This course prepares students for industry by having students solve open-ended real-world problems1. In particular, the senior capstone course involves solving problems posedfrom industry and faculty rather than “made up” projects 2,3 to allow for real-world situationsexperienced post degree. These problems typically require simulations using controlled real-world situations designed to meet specific learning objectives, or prototyping in a real-worldenvironment2 in which students are exposed to real situations with open-ended projects.
