activity provides students with a real-world scenariowhere they must use a people-first, human-centered engineering problem-solving approach tosolve a scenario that affects people of all backgrounds [1]. This activity introduces the careerreadiness competencies required of successful engineers and crucial in engineering design. Thesecompetencies are identified by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) aswell as by the ABET engineering program accreditation organization [2-3]. Through this activity,we stress the importance of being a well-rounded engineer and how lacking technical or socialcompetencies can lead to unintentional engineering design failures that exclude critical groups andpopulations. Examples include products only

Course management is split between theDepartment of Civil Engineering (including the Structural Engineering major) and theDepartment of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering, so conscious effort is made to providedesign examples from across the different engineering disciplines offered within the faculty.While the new version of the course did not change in format (as outlined

All of the first-yearseminars provide an introduction to students’ college education and are designed with the idea to developcritical skills in order to succeed in future coursework (e.g. study skills, time management skills, etc.), aswell as to get an entry level introduction to their areas of study [16].

The primary goal of this research is to identify whether the changes made tothe course (a) increased students’ sense of belonging to the engineering community, (b) assistedin identifying engineering skills, and (c) support their self-recognition as engineers.

This course is required of all students at junior standing in thefollowing engineering majors: civil, chemical, computer, electrical, mechanical, optical, and softwareengineering. Our research questions are founded on the notion that peer reviewing conducted on paper(hard copies of draft documents) differs from peer reviewing that occurs on the writing surface of atablet computer (an electronic copy of the draft document that the student then marks up with a penstylus or comments on with reviewing tools in Microsoft Word).

It is also imperative to advise first-year students early on of thesignificance of the ethical code of conduct for engineers in engineering design, as it is the set ofmoral principles that guide the behavior of engineers and help ensure they work responsibly andprofessionally [22].(iv) Developing Good Study HabitsIn addition to introducing engineering design, communication, and ethics, another vital aspect ofthe course is to emphasize the importance of developing good study habits in students.
