. The bonds of “shared struggle” wereforged through study groups, course project teams, and senior capstone project. Studyparticipants reported forming peer study groups to be crucial to their academic learning andformation of social connections. Daniel was proactive in starting and joining study groups: Because most of them were engineers, we just started studying together. So, I just met people in my dorm that were like exceptionally good in certain subjects. One guy literally sat down for two hours to teach me a concept that like I was really struggling with. So having a friend group to fall back on if I don’t understand something has been big for me.When study participants entered “in their major,” they reported

Engineering educators already value assessing technical skills through real-worldcase-study evaluations, such as in capstone research and design projects and in the Principles andPractice of Engineering (PE) exam. The difficulties of assessing students’ abilities to integratetheir various kinds of knowledge are also present in these technical activities.
