Students who are more engaged with their university, social groups, courses, andother aspects of university life are more likely to succeed and perform higher than their lessengaged peers. As a result, it is critical that educators, administrators, and other key stakeholders,work to increase students’ engagement within engineering classrooms and the field ofengineering broadly.
