Moreover, these additions must bedesigned to seamlessly blend with traditional subjects without overwhelming students ordetracting from their primary educational objectives. Incorporating mindfulness into the busyschedules of engineering students also presents a significant challenge. Often, students prioritizeactivities that directly impact their grades, leading to hesitation in participating in activities [37],like mindfulness practices that are optional and not integrated into the core curriculum. Thistendency can widen the gap in mental health support, especially for non-traditional students whojuggle work and study. Addressing this issue is crucial for creating an inclusive

-quality massproduction system, optimizes for efficiency by standardizing processes. In undergraduateengineering degree programs, this is apparent from the relatively inflexible standard curricularpaths within any given major and the use of midterm and final exams as “go or no-go”measurement gauges to determine which “products” (students) are of sufficient quality to moveonto the next step (or class) in the assembly line of curricular requirements. An important aspectof this factory model is that colleges are systematically indifferent as to which students graduateand which go elsewhere since standardization of the process and objective assessments arepresumed to ensure fair treatment for all students.This paper integrates findings across student

Within the preliminary programming coursework phases, Chat GPT is invaluable as aknowledge repository and interactive tool for novice learners.

The curriculum also includedProblem-Based Learning (PBL) modules with projects that applied concepts from computerscience and mechanical, mechatronic, computer, and electrical engineering.The first objective is particularly impactful because of the pre-requisite chains in most of ourengineering (ENGR) and computer science (CS) curricula.

We have previously developed evidence-based technical writing modules,tailored to BME students, and vertically integrated them throughout our core curriculum [4].These modules were developed before widespread AI availability.

an engineering identity early in theirmatriculation can be significant drivers of attrition from technical fields. Previous researchsuggests that project-based learning builds students’ engineering/computing identity by piquingand developing student interest in engineering topics. Literature on the sense of belonging inengineering suggests that experiencing camaraderie within course-based teams, and particularlyhaving a clear purpose or role within the team, can promote that sense of belonging. The currentresearch project sought to implement evidence-based practices to enhance first-year students’identity and sense of belonging in engineering and computing, in the context of a two-semesterintroductory course sequence that integrates students
