AB  - Engineering dropout is a complex construct because it involves many dimensions, some of which come from societal status quo. There is significant research on understanding the barriers, both personal and institutional, that cause student desertion throughout the major. One of these barriers is the lack of understanding of the areas of knowledge of the different engineering majors. These papers highlight a pedagogical application of an introductory course for first-year students and the contrast of the dropout numbers. The study showcases the design of the courses, student learning outcomes, and the perceptions of students about what each specific major entitles. Specifically, the study analyzed 79 first-year civil engineering students distributed among five sections of the Introduction to Civil Engineering course, two years ago. The authors reflect on the design of the intervention and explore the avenues academia could take to form new pedagogical approaches to reduce student dropout in civil engineering schools. Implications for research and practice are provided.
