You don’t think of electrical engineering studentsworking in a steel mill, which was scary but also exciting. Since it’s private industry, notgovernment, I would make a lot more money. These two potential jobs were really fighting me,fighting each other in my mind. I was really struggling with the thought that I have to choose whatpath my life is going to take right now, and the choice that I make is going to determine my future,which isn’t something that I really had to do all by myself before. When I was selecting a college,I got input from my parents and friends

defined based on a students’ cognitivemeasures, including GPA and standardized test scores. Such metrics are used as predictors ofstudents’ future success, and student outcomes, in engineering. However, these metrics fall shortin explaining why admitted students, with high GPA and standardized test scores, can still fail tostay in an engineering program or struggle to graduate on time [1]. Literature suggests that non-cognitive and affective (NCA) factors can play an important role in a students’ success andencompasses measures such as stress, social support, engineering identity, meaning and purpose,mindfulness, belonging, and many others [2]–[11]. Incorporating NCA factors into how studentsuccess is defined and measured can lead to the

Through this Project, Wright College established an EngineeringCenter, a place where students build their community of practice (CoP), network, support eachother both academically and professionally, and develop Professional Identity. Students at theEngineering Center find support from like-minded students, all working together to be successfulin the major. During the first semester of the project, the Engineering Center hosted 176 uniqueengineering students (EP, Bridge, IIT and non-pathway

Since most REU studentsworked individually, opportunities for mutual support among research teams were not developed.This project determined to create research experiences that would address these issues. With aPBL approach in mind, engineering faculty members recruited students with a variety of STEMbackgrounds to work collaboratively on a complex problem in transportation engineering.
