Previous research indicates that students'engagement correlates directly with academic progress. This is especially relevant in theEngineering+ setting, where students are in the process of choosing their majors and planningtheir futures. Students take three courses on varying topics to explore their interests and practicefundamental engineering skills during their first year. Therefore, enhancing student engagementin these courses not only aids in a deeper understanding of the offered materials but alsofacilitates social interactions that can inform better decision-making

But this would be time consuming, and defeats one of the major advantages of peerassessment—that a large class can receive just as much feedback as a small class, with no extrainvestment of staff time. So, we seek an automated way to assess reviews.Automated evaluation of reviews offers three distinct benefits.. 1. Determines which reviews are useful to the author.

Of course, participation alone is not likely to indicate whetherengineering graduates are likely to be effective entrepreneurs either in starting their ownventures or being change agents (or intrapreneurs) in existing organizations. Thisrequires that we go deeper into the attributes that are acquired in professional preparation.Most of the work on more rigorously measuring outcomes seems to be on the courselevel, rather than overall programs or centers.

By high school, many students have alreadydecided on a certain path and may be too late to have a large impact on inspiring students tostudy engineering. Page 22.658.5Figure 3. Distribution
