Analysis is ongoing, but preliminary findingssuggest that UVIs can help students recognize and form rich, meaningful connections betweenengineering mechanics topics and their personal lives and values. Specifically, students describeconnections in terms of 1) personal relevance; 2) a sense of “seeing” mechanics in everyday life;and 3) sociotechnical dimensions of engineering. These themes suggest that when given thespace and time, students can form valuable personal connections to the concepts they encounterin introductory engineering mechanics courses in ways that enrich and give meaning to theirlearning.

According to an AmericanSociety for Engineering Education (ASEE) report from 2018, between 2013 and 2016, the totalnumber of students who received bachelor’s degrees in civil engineering declined by 8% in theU.S. [1]. This decrease creates some concerns because the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)projects employment with nearly 140,000 new jobs expected for engineers over the 2016–26decade, meaning in perspective, there will be a high demand for engineering graduates [2].

Successful outcomes of co-op, like graduating withhigher GPAs [1], [2], having an easier time transitioning into full-time work [3], or beginningwith higher starting salaries [2], [4] have been discussed in the past, however, little is formallydocumented on the ways in which co-op provides these benefits. These benefits could be realizedthrough many different pathways which may include students improving technical and/orprofessional skills, refining their identity, and increasing their self-efficacy, among

Metric 1: Approximately mid semester, a faculty member visits each student at theiremployment site, meeting with both the student and their supervisor(s). At the site visit, thefaculty member collects assessment data on the student’s performance, how well the institutionhas prepared the student, and educational areas that the employer feels can be improved.Feedback gathered during the faculty member’s visit is recorded using a common reporttemplate. Metric 2: At the end of the co-op assignment, the students complete an online, self-evaluation of their experience. A
