These early years are crucial as students are introduced to many of theirdepartmental courses during this time and are affirming or shaping their identities as engineers.A deeper look into

Another interesting trend is minorities and females being more likely to utilize SI thantheir peers. This could stem from these students feeling like they have a lesser chance ofbecoming an engineer due to subconscious views on engineering being a Caucasian-maledominated field and, therefore, have a higher desire to utilize programs that will make them morelikely to succeed. It could also be for reasons mentioned previously about these students needinga more relatable figure to assist/teach the course.
