This paper aims to explore the implications of considering student personalities, such as introversion and extroversion, in designing and implementing the first-year engineering curriculum. It investigates how tailoring instructional methods, student interactions, and support systems based on personality traits can enhance engagement, academic success, and overall well-being for engineering students during their critical first year. By acknowledging and addressing the diverse range of personalities, educators can create a more inclusive and effective learning environment that sets a strong foundation for students' future engineering studies. This investigation opens avenues for dialogue regarding the importance of recognizing and respecting the unique qualities that students bring to the educational arena. This paper can serve as a foundation for discussions and future explorations into tailoring education to meet the diverse needs of engineering students, contributing to the ongoing evolution of engineering pedagogy.
