It also emphasizes how important engineering identity andinclusive environments are in determining students' overall well-being [13]. The 2016 study byYanik and Yan adopts a hands-on strategy by putting interventions in place to recognize and reduceanxiety in engineering students. The research tackles anxiety-inducing concerns like timemanagement, degree completion, and post-graduation prospects through targeted interventions,journaling, and personal reflections.

The enrollment in CSCI 111, the first programming (CS1) course, is a good metricto determine this pool of potential majors. Since 2000, 84 students have enrolled in this class.Most studies look only at graduating majors. If we did this, the numbers are discouraging: 4 CSmajors and 9 information systems majors graduated since 2000. This constitutes 15% of
