Intervention characteristics werecoded as moderators for this analysis. This review utilized a broad definition of “careeroutcomes” in order to capture any study that should be included for meta-analysis.

benefit of giving students a meaningful way of wrestling withsometimes difficult and emotionally charged facets of engineering work, they also provided thefaculty a better understanding of the students’ perspectives and how they evolved over the courseof the semester.Students expressed a desire for more content introducing the specific engineering majorsavailable to them. The dual role of the instructor-advisors once again helped somewhat in thisspace, as students could consult with their professors about major selection outside of class aswell. While areas for improvement have been identified from the student evaluations, initialresponses to the course are promising that the program is achieving its targeted outcomes.[1] L. Lampe and B.
