better understanding of thestruggles students face in their courses.Future exploration may involve a comparison of our current results with those from prior classyears at our institution, or with courses of a more product-based or knowledge-based nature. Wemight also be able to collaborate with other engineering programs at other institutions tocompare student feedback about similar courses. Finally, our results might be applicable toformative assessment for the improvement of student learning in first-year engineering and otherSTEM courses.References[1] K. M. Kroeper, K. Muenks, E. A.
