Abstract

First year engineering students need not persevere through a multitude of barriers alone while pursuing their degree. At the University of Virginia, we engineering undergraduates to consult with experts to solve difficult and complex problems as engineers; this includes experts in mental health and accessible education. While our institution has a variety of “consultants” in place through Academic and Student Affairs, students often have physical and knowledge barriers to accessing them. Our unique embedded model offers an ecosystem of readily available consultants specific and located in proximity to engineering students. Through this workshop we aim to 1) define an expanded philosophy of student success, 2) share important logistical and financial considerations in forming such a team approach, and 3) review our methods in researching the outcome of an embedded position. Our philosophy of student success extends beyond offering the typical supports of academic coaching and tutoring and takes a team approach of expert consultants, namely our Center for Diversity in Engineering, embedded Assistant Dean of Student Safety and Support, 2 embedded counselors from our Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) Office, an Accessibility Specialist from our Student Disability Access Center (SDAC), and Engineering Undergraduate Programs Office. This workshop is geared toward decision makers in engineering who drive students’ success, advising, retention, diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice efforts.
