Surveys B and D at the end of each semester for the next fivesemesters. Statistical analyses similar to those performed for Cohort 2024 will be conducted forCohort 2025. Additionally, the availability of data from both cohorts will allow us to comparetheir outcomes at corresponding points in time. A key distinction in the experimental setupbetween Cohorts 2024 and 2025 is that Cohort 2024 did not have access to the engineeringworkshop during their first semester, whereas Cohort 2025 will have access from the outset.Works Cited[1] N.
