identification with, and by, engineering often motivates students to migrate out of engineering into other majors and can be a barrier for students in other majors to move into engineering. In fact, identity and learning prove interconnected, as delineated by several scholars in the situated learning tradition from cultural anthropology. Within this tradition, learning is itself conceptualized as a change in identity that comes with participation.” [3] The positive correlation between project-based cornerstone courses with both retentionand a sense of belonging and identity in engineering have been made. Although there remainsadditional work to examine how strongly retention and belonging are tied together, it

Theeffectiveness of the course at inspiring this somewhat reluctant student population to getexcited about applying engineering principles and problem-solving techniques isprimarily due to a syllabus that is structured around three engineering design projects, orEDPs. These projects, which become progressively more complex throughout thesemester, require students to take taught theory out of the classroom and apply it to thedesign of mechanical systems.
