paper describes a study of three design interventions anda survey conducted of first-year engineering students at New York University to understand theimpact on their design self-efficacy. The research question addressed in this study is whetherthere is an impact of documenting the design thinking process, the engineering design process,and project communication on students’ level of self-efficacy to solve engineering designproblems. And if so, to what extent did students find value in using the documentation activitiesfor enhancing their engineering design capabilities? The aim of this study is to identify the beststrategies for improving first-year students’ design skills that will help them succeed in futuredesign projects. Many tools have

Education, 2023 Closing the Gap between Industry and Academia via Student Teams SupportAbstractA well-known challenge in engineering education is the attempt to balance the demands of industryrecruitment with the core needs of an already packed engineering curriculum. Due to timeconstraints, real-world examples and other learning opportunities that aim to develop andconsolidate the industry-desirable skills can be difficult to include in the curriculum. One way toaddress this challenge is to collaborate with industry (for example, on capstone projects, studentteam challenges, etc.) while the students are still studying. A place for these collaborations, whichcan provide benefit for both parties, is through student competitions. Student
