Prior work investigating these EC modules showed ahigh participation rate (48-60%) across and high performance (80-88%) on the end-of-module ECquiz across three semesters [1].

Courses have been designed exclusively tosupport the development of critical non-technical skills, including communication skills andteamwork, in engineering and computer science [2, 3]. However, the alignment of the skillstaught in those courses with the needs of students in subsequent courses have not been addressed.This study is aimed at understanding how the technical and non-technical skills taught in a first-year engineering program aligns with the needs of students in subsequent engineering andcomputer science courses.

Previous researchsuggests that project-based learning builds students’ engineering/computing identity by piquingand developing student interest in engineering topics. Literature on the sense of belonging inengineering suggests that experiencing camaraderie within course-based teams, and particularlyhaving a clear purpose or role within the team, can promote that sense of belonging.

Furthermore,personal challenges can disproportionately affect students from certain communities. A study byUC San Diego Computer Science and Engineering faculty identified four categories of studentstruggle that were correlated to low outcomes in introductory computer science courses,including personal obligations, lack of sense of belonging, in-class confusion, and lack ofconfidence [8]. They found that students from underrepresented demographic groups struggledmore across all categories.

Technical Weaknesses in Math and Programming Especially in technical domains like math and computer programming, many students reported acute accuracy and comprehension deficits that undermined utility. One shared that with numerical calculations, "the AI tools gave very bad" results, getting fundamentals wrong. So despite upgrades in languages and writing, foundational numerical and computational techniques remain challenging for AI. Thus for STEM content, existing tools lack reliability, threatening learning integrity if applied without due caution.
