Within the Freshmen Course, this assignment is used in conjunction to theintroductory webbook chapters explaining the essence of engineering and introducing thedifferent disciplines. Since this assignment is an exploration of different disciplines, students’majors do not have to be aligned with the discipline they are researching. For Rowan University,Civil, Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical, and Biomedical Engineering are the disciplines that areused for students to research. For this assignment students are expected to cover the following: 1. Origins of engineering discipline a. When and where did discipline start? b. Who are considered founders? i. What was their

Further, a measure ofinitial overconfidence (assessed retrospectively) can be computed by taking the differencebetween the perceived and computed changes in self-efficacy. In essences, this measures thedegree to which the initial confidence measure is inflated by assuming that the post-assessmentself-efficacy is a better assessment of self-efficacy grounded in a recent experiential applicationof relevant skills.

CoRe co-curricular programming provides students with a broad introduction to theengineering profession, experiential opportunities, mentoring, connections to campus resources,problem solving and team building skills to retain them at the university and in the college.Supporting student success relies on the programs ability to show students their potential role inthe engineering professional community and that they belong in the college. The main goalthroughout the academic year is to help new students to become integrated into their college anduniversity community by connecting
