. After each lesson and after thelesson series, students completed a written reflection on what they had learned, totaling to fivereflections over the semester. Their responses will be explored with a thematic qualitativeanalysis to answer the research questions above. The lessons continue to be adapted to thiscontext and are being taught to all sections of the course this semester. A rollout to all incomingfirst-year engineering students is planned for the Fall of 2023, so this analysis is ongoing, and allconclusions drawn so far are from Fall of 2022 and are denoted as a WIP.Definition of EmpathyDuring a pilot study in the Fall of 2022, 59 first-year students in the honors sections of“Introduction to Engineering” at a large R1 university

on social capital theory, belongingness, and engineeringrole identity. These theories shaped our data collection and analysis procedures.Social capital describes the resources that are cultivated or made available through socialnetworks. Following other scholarship in engineering education research on social capital [15]we focus on social capital at the individual level [16]. Each student brings with them a socialnetwork to their undergraduate studies, although the extent to which that network is equipped tosupport them through their engineering studies might be variable [17]. Lin distinguishes betweenthe availability, accessibility, and activation of resources in a social network [17]. The goal of theECE Discovery Studio peer leadership

authors made a list of freshmen lost opportunities that included: • Students may have some friends, but not a peer support network, study circle, or community of learning. • Students see faculty as distant entities, if a faculty talks to you is because you are in trouble. • Students don’t see themselves as part of research labs. • Students don’t understand the benefits of joining an organization. • It takes various semesters to create a strong identity as an engineer. • Students feel that accessing resources implies that they cannot solve problems on their own. • Students think that it is enough to take the necessary courses and not engage in extracurricular activities. • Family is a strong

classesAbstractIn this evidence-based practice paper, we report on peer oral exams, a cross between oral examsand peer assessment, as implemented in a high-enrollment undergraduate computerprogramming course for engineers. The idea was to leverage the educational andimplementational advantages of both evidence-based approaches simultaneously. Oral exams,for instance, have been argued to promote conceptual understanding, self-reflection,communication competency, and professional identity formation in students – but theirdeployment in large classes is resource-demanding and nontrivial, stifling their broader adoption.Peer assessment, on the other hand, is highly scalable and affords students many potentialeducational benefits of its own, including the
