(Introduction to Engineering), is designed to allow students toexplore engineering through hands-on design projects, case studies, and problem-solving usingcomputers. Students learn about various aspects of the engineering profession and acquire bothtechnical skills and non-technical skills, in areas such as communication, team work, andengineering ethics. The class was restructured to focus on the following goals: (1) Provide anengaging and fun experience for students to explore engineering topics; (2) Increase retention forfreshmen in the College of Engineering; (3) Give an early taste of engineering; (4) Exposestudents to the design process; (5) Present the global picture of engineering; (6) Provideengineering skill development; (7) Provide students

Thus, to best prepare graduates for work, engineering educationprograms must incorporate authentic design experiences into their curricula, providing studentswith opportunities to think through real-world scenarios using a holistic set of competencies thatgo beyond technical knowledge alone.The purpose of this study was to understand how

As part of the code of ethics of many of the professionalorganizations for engineers and technologists, such as the National Society of ProfessionalEngineers, there is a requirement for members to only undertake activities in their areas ofexpertise and to not misrepresent their knowledge and skills to any clients.[1] While grades areconsidered to be a way for students to reflect on their skill level and see where any deficienciescould exist, but it has been shown that engineering students routinely over estimate their grades,even after multiple assessment scores.[2] Due to exposure effects, such as the Dunning
