competent as them as being an engineer. Diego, Mechanical Engineering Student, Year 1 Feeling competent in something is knowing...the material enough that you don't need help from an instructor. Like you know, like if you're given a problem, with your notes you’re able to solve it. If they ask you a different question that they don't have in lecture, like you're able to figure it out as you go through it. Like you understand the material well enough where you don't need someone to help you. And like for the rest of the classes, I can do that. Emily, Civil Engineering Students, Year 1 B.

Analysis of Students’ Responses to Fall 2019 SurveyThere were three main categories of responses identified in the analysis regarding students’ability to use modeling language and provide descriptions. Students either: (a – see Table 6) both labeled the type/s of model/s and clearly described them, (b – see Table 7) labeled the type/s of model/s, but could not describe them, or (c – see Table 8) explained a type/s of model/s, but could not label them.The presented coding scheme did not capture these differences, so this could not be
