We chose one of thefoundation courses in engineering and engineering technology, ENGR 2110: Statics formodification so that this model could be expanded to other engineering courses. Our revitalizedcourse differed from a traditional in-class and a complete online course in the following ways: (1)Lectures were summarized in 5-20 minute videos that include important concepts from thechapter/topic, one/two worked examples, and 3-4 homework/practice problems. These synopsisvideo lectures were made available to students in advance so that students could learn and preparefor the lectures/problem sessions.

Introduction: The landscape of engineering education is undergoing a significant transformation, movingbeyond the traditional focus on technical expertise to recognize the critical importance ofinterpersonal dynamics in mentoring relationships [1]. At the heart of this evolution lies thegrowing recognition that successful mentoring in engineering education requires emotionalintelligence, particularly when supporting underserved doctoral students [1]. Emotionalintelligence is a psychological competency that plays a crucial role in helping mentors andmentees navigate the complex hidden curriculum

Some campuses provide an engineering-specific career center, while others havea general career center that serves all students. Common resources offered by career centersinclude information sessions, resume reviews, and access to career advisors. At highly resourceduniversities, career centers will often host job fairs and bring employers to campus for otherevents. In a prior study, career services professionals recognized that students benefit fromdifferent types of events (workshops vs. one-on-one consultations) depending on their needs

Both the lowerGPA and the experience of the instructor could result in lower overall scores found in this study.Although it is interesting to note that the Satisfaction subscale in both classes are the same.We controlled for the effect of the instructor by analyzing two different courses taught by the sameinstructor. Both courses are technical courses but one is a required course and one is an elective course.In addition the GPA in the elective course was lower than that in the required course. Instructor 1 wasalso more experienced teaching Course E. These difference in student grades and instructor experiencecould also explain some difference we observed here.Conclusions:The results show that overall the flipped class

In particular, the study aims to answer the following hypotheses: 1. Students who complete the cross-disciplinary course are more likely to persist in their engineering studies than their peers who enrolled in a discipline-specific course. 2

However, this goal depends not only on how andwhat we teach students but also on the perceptions engineering faculty have of leadership andleadership development.
