This is why I think it is important to educate students on what engineering is and what engineers do.”Another student commented that while they previously had a very limited understanding ofengineering (i.e. building bridges and roads), participating in the class had opened their eyes toother aspects of engineering: "I think this has opened my eyes to another aspect of engineering and to realize that it is not just building bridges and roads.”An additional theme that emerged in the written reflections was that students felt they had abetter understanding of how to teach engineering after

ofprofessional opportunities he wanted, since he found few non-computer science engineering jobpostings on Yale’s internal job posting network. In addition, Robert wanted to devote more of histime to non-engineering academic interests, such as history: Robert: “I wanted to carve space to keep taking Chinese language classes. Yale was great at Chinese history, and just history in general. I wanted to take more of those classes because my engineering degree seemed kind of useless.”At the beginning of his sophomore year, Robert switched his degree to “Engineering Sciences(Mechanical),” which was a Bachelor of Science degree and thus fewer credits than the fullBachelor of Science in Engineering degree. This allowed Robert to avoid classes that did
