It was clear from the outset of this course that this process mightbe useful as an educational tool (for the students) and as a research tool (engineering educationalresearch) in analyzing the first-year engineering educational experience. As a result,StrengthsFinder was introduced in our first-year program as a part of the curriculum in a courseentitled “An Introduction to the Engineering Profession”. This initiative has evolved into anongoing longitudinal study examining the StrengthsFinder talent themes of first-year engineeringstudents, to determine whether or not each engineering group possesses a unique talent

This redesignis essential for equipping students with ARIE skills in engineering disciplines, as highlighted bythe Joint Statement issued by the American Society for Engineering Education and the EuropeanSociety for Engineering Education [1]. These skills are vital for fostering a more diverse andinclusive environment within the field of technology, enhancing students' ability to navigate andcontribute to diverse workplaces, and promoting social responsibility and ethical leadership.

A major contributing factor to ongoing low-level retention rates in STEMfields is the nature of many first- and second-year gateway courses, resulting in an undesirablylarge number of student attrition. The authors hypothesize first-year student experiences thatsignificantly enhance interest in engineering, if effectively implemented, can outweigh thediscouragement resulting from

enrollment began their college careers outside engineering.1Many programs have been put in place to recruit students into engineering fromunderrepresented groups,2,3 but fewer programs exist to recruit from among students alreadyenrolled in universities and the nature of the engineering curriculum makes it difficult for manystudents to switch into engineering once they have chosen a different academic pathway.Most people who apply to colleges of engineering “always wanted” to be engineers or at leastthey had decided by the time they were seniors in high school that engineering was going to betheir career path. Many identify as being “good at math and science” and therefore engineeringmade sense to them.4 Others like to build things or got involved

engineering courses covera variety of learning objectives. An important and common component of first-year courses inengineering programs is introducing students to engineering concepts, practices, and theengineering profession as well as motivating the students towards engineering.1 According to aDelphi study by Reid and colleagues,2 these courses cover four main areas: engineering skills(e.g., design process, programming), professional skills (e.g., teamwork, technicalcommunication), orientation to the engineering program (e.g., discipline selection), andorientation to the engineering profession (e.g., professional societies). Hence, these coursesaddress both technical and professional outcomes outlined by ABET as well as orientations toengineering

The studytested the hypothesis that the primary causes of underrepresentation of women in STEMincluded women having a lower self-assessment in STEM skills compared to males, aswell as family planning and work – life balance issues. Cech et al. also established a newcategory of a self-assessed “Professional Role Confidence,” which they defined asmeasuring the personal comfort level that a qualified female feels with fitting intoengineering as a career. Men reported a significantly higher comfort level compared towomen with respect to Professional Role Confidence.The prospect that gender influences

classes. SI still gives significant benefitto all groups when students attend sessions regularly.5.3 Who is Attending SI? 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. One note about attendance from previous findings indicated that students utilizing SI atthe highest rates were
