This list of skills was developed in consulting a number of sourcesincluding the UBC Centre for Community Engaged Learning (CCEL) [11] and the EngineersCanada Graduate Attributes [12]. Students are asked about challenges to their work and supportresources they have utilized, with this list being informed by CCEL. Finally, the survey asks howCOVID-19 has impacted their CEL activitiesThe survey asked about strategies students used when developing CEL projects.

In addition, it has been shown that offering introductory engineering courses at the2-year institution helped students effectively navigate the path to transfer when such coursesincluded a survey of engineering careers as well as information about transfer planning and degree[3]. Additionally, faculty guidance on major-specific educational planning and transfer destinationselection was critically important to transfer success [3], as well as outreach and recruitmentactivities in which faculties from 4-year institutions visit the community college to present themajor and their scholarly interests [2].

Further, Hurst, Wallace, and Nixon [3] surveyed undergraduatestudents and concluded that students believe social interactions increased their enjoyment oflearning, interest in topics, and level of responsiveness. Beyond academic success, engineers ofthe 21st century must effectively engage with peers [7], and as noted by Passow [7], teamworkand communication are among the most valuable skills in the engineering industry. Byresearching these benefits, educators can capture and incentivize the positive attributes ofstudents’ interactions. Further, such research often requires methods, like SNA, forcharacterizing interactions of the research participants.Social Network

passion for the engineering profession among students. Theseprograms often adopt engaged pedagogies that integrate technical and non-technical (e.g., ethicsand communication) competencies into the curriculum. A major goal of such an integrativeapproach to engineering education is to present students with a more holistic vision of theengineering profession, and communicate to students that skills necessary for good, responsibleengineering are integrative by nature. Therefore, it is relatively natural that instructors oftenassess the efficacy of these pedagogies in their classes in terms of how these pedagogies affectstudents’ ethical perceptions and the development of their ethical competencies. As a result,some first-year engineering instructors

Findings from this study can be used toinform the development of improved spatial interventions for BLV individuals.Data Collection MethodsIn order to more accurately measure spatial thinking in BLV populations, the Tactile MentalCutting Test (TMCT) was developed as a fully accessible adaptation of the Mental Cutting Test(MCT) [24], an instrument that is commonly used by researchers in the field of spatial ability[25]-[26]. The TMCT requires subjects to tactilely interpret a small three-dimensional plasticobject with a laminated paper plane
