formationof civil engineers through development of engineering identity, sense of belonging to theprofession, and motivations to pursue civil engineering and continue to persist in the degree andcareer.IntroductionEarly-stage undergraduate engineering courses often include open-ended design problems to givestudents an opportunity to practice engineering at the beginning of their academic pathway.Problems have two attributes: they are an unknown entity in some situation, and solving theunknown entity will have social, cultural or intellectual value [1]. Most fundamental science andengineering classes outside of design courses feature problems that are complex in that they havemany interrelated variables; they are also well-structured. These types of

greatest takeaways, but in order to capture any potential changes in thestudent's mindset towards civil engineering, the survey included questions examining if theprogram caused students to more strongly consider pursuing a career in civil engineering upongraduation. Although no course credit was awarded to students for completing the surveys, theywere strongly encouraged and reminded several times to participate if willing. While more thanjust USAFA students took the FERL course, the student survey data included in this paper waslimited to the USAFA students from the Class of 2024. Forty-five students completed pre-course survey and forty-three completed the post-course survey.To get more insights beyond the survey responses, a sub-set of
