value and success in multidisciplinary multi-year co-curricular programs such as the GCSP will also be discussed.Introduction and MotivationUndergraduate engineering students face many options in their education today, all of which canshape their academic pathway and influence their persistence in their degree program and futurecareer plans [1]. But what is it that motivates or influences a student to decide to participate inone program or activity versus another? And what influences a student’s decision to continue toengage (or not) in that program or activity? Several studies have been conducted to assess theimpact of students’ participation in various types of activities outside of the classroom onstudents’ skill development, professional

the United States. While they noted many differences between therequirements of individual institutions, courses in calculus, physics, statics, and thermodynamicswere almost universally required [8]. These areas of study are crucial to the success of abiological systems engineer after graduation, making it even more important that transfer oflearning successfully occurs between them.Most of these studies quantified the occurrence of transfer by assessing students’ performanceagainst a desired outcome. This analysis of curriculum presents a “paper view” of transfer,potentially limiting conclusions that can be drawn about student experiences. There has beenlittle focus on the students’ perspectives of their own transfer, or how they perceive

The grades for the 2023 classwere significantly higher than the grades for the 2019 class, which was the first year the coursewas taught.

For example, students may be able to correctly answermechanics problems given combined two and three-dimensional representations better than justtwo-dimensional representations. Future research, as stated below, is necessary to more fullyexplore this context dependence. There are also implications for assessment. For example,faculty sometimes place questions and problems on course exams that are in contexts differentfrom those encountered previously, with the goal that students who “really know” the materialwill be able to solve these problems. These findings indicate that encountering new contextsmay

The social implications of their designs are not one of the criteriathat is used to assess its success. This is in contradiction to what ABET requires schools to teachconcerning engineering design. Criterion 3(h) states that14: “Engineering programs must demonstrate that their students attain the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.”Ignoring societal impacts is also a violation of most engineering codes of conduct. For example,the National Society of Professional Engineers (N.S.P.E.) states in their code as the
