Examples of these activities could includestudents’ participation in competitive or recreational sports, artistic hobbies, and other leisure-based activities, though nearly any activity could be identified in this way by a student.Literature shows that students’ participation in on- and off-campus activities influence their senseof belonging and conceptions of themselves as engineers [1], [2].

Oral exams also promote faculty-student interactions after the exams[13].
