AB  - Previous studies have shown that many non-cognitive and affective (NCA) factors (e.g. Engineering Identify, Belongingness, Mindset, etc.) are related to student academic success. The NSF-funded Studying Underlying Characteristics of Computing and Engineering Student Success (SUCCESS) project is exploring the role that NCA factors play in retention and broad definitions of success for undergraduate engineering and computing students. This paper presents work completed through year five of the collaborative SUCCESS project. To date we have: 1) Generated NCA profiles of engineering and computing students by deploying the SUCCESS survey to a national cohort of engineering and computing students and 2) Explored the academic performance through time of Mechanical Engineering students at a large undergraduate focused public university to see how this performance relates to NCA profiles.  In this project update we present the results of a fourth year of longitudinal data collection of NCA factors and how the results relate to academic performance for Mechanical Engineering students. This completes many of their undergraduate academic careers and preliminary results point to the importance of students’ sense of Engineering Identity and Belongingness to their academic success.  We further explore some of the extracurricular activities that students engage in that might impact these factors. Lastly, we will provide an update on the preliminary results of targeted interventions intended to improve academic performance through influencing malleable NCA factors in an effort to improve student outcomes.
