To support to students’ transition into university, the authors developed the Engineering Attributes Program in 2019. The program includes a series of modules, such as The Mental Health Continuum, Exam Anxiety, Procrastination, Time Management, Academic Burnout, Motivation, and Diversity. Each module includes information delivered to first year students and a corresponding reflection grade. The delivery modes implemented over the three years of the program’s delivery are summarized in this paper. The authors have reviewed student comments and have grouped them into themes, which are summarized in this paper. The authors will share their insights into the student experience, based on our interactions with students over the years, and our reading of their reflection assignments.
