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

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.
