AbstractIn this research paper, we explore student responses to Utility Value Interventions in staticscourses. Introductory engineering mechanics courses (e.g., statics, dynamics) are critical pointswithin a curriculum, and student performance in these courses can have a strong influence onfuture success. And while these courses are often thought of as “weed out” courses, the ubiquityof these courses for engineers is what makes them an important place for students to develop themotivation to persist through their engineering education. One particularly promising tool for thisdevelopment has been Utility Value Interventions (UVIs) in which students are given opportunitiesto reflect on how their coursework aligns with their lives through short writing

desire increased guidance on how their graduateprograms were structured and a greater understanding of how to develop and maintain functionalcommunication with their advisors. These findings will allow the engineering education researchand practice communities to understand better how students conceptualize graduate school andprovide adequate guidance and support. This study will contribute to the small body of literatureconcerning graduate engineering attrition and holds implications for the future of engineeringgraduate programs and departments in their ongoing efforts to promote their students' well-beingamid the growing crisis relating to student well-being.Introduction and Literature ReviewWhen observing the statistics for attrition from

School. He earned a B.S. in Materials Science Engineering from Alfred Univer- sity, and received his M.S. and Ph.D., both from Tufts University, in Chemistry and Engineering Education respectively. His research investigates the development of new classroom innovations, assessment tech- niques, and identifying new ways to empirically understand how engineering students and educators learn. He currently serves as the Graduate Program Chair for the Engineering Education Systems and Design Ph.D. program. He is also the immediate past chair of the Research in Engineering Education Network (REEN) and an associate editor for the Journal of Engineering Education (JEE). Prior to joining ASU he was a graduate student research

tool to provideculminating senior academic/intellectual experience for students, especially those at the end oftheir educational program; such a project will give E/CS students an insight into the activities theywill likely be involved in while on the job.Engineering student societies and clubs are also promising avenues to promote engagement amongstudents. These student groups/clubs may participate in hackathons, competitions, and serviceactivities, bringing a fun, hands-on factor to their engineering curriculum. Such groups promoteinteraction within minority groups and improve 'students' sense of belonging, and curbs loneliness.However, team-building skills need to be developed to ensure inclusiveness and proper leadershipand development of

designed forthe pilot. The 2020-2021 academic year brought additional changes to program personnel,further complicating implementation of both research and program efforts. The emergent issuesof recruitment, personnel change, and the ability to remain connected through COVID-19restrictions have become acutely important to our ongoing project.Our choice to use design-based methods has provided this opportunity for us to reflect on ourprocedures and revise them in response to findings that have emerged from three iterations offormative reflection, while maintaining our goals for research and development. As researchersnew to the Engineering Education community, sharing our work-in-progress provides us with thechance to connect with new colleagues
