sense of belonging at the engineering college and provides a platformwhere students can communicate their identity, or express themselves as engineers, to a body oflike-minded peers.Next, receiving mentorship is thought to help keep students engaged with their community andpushes them to realize best practices for success. In this interaction, it is believed that first yearstudents begin to form a stronger sense of being an engineering or STEM major, and this identityis co-constructed with their mentor. Then, the transition to becoming a mentor in theirsophomore year acts like a promotion where these students provide help rather than receive it.This transition is thought to also help mentors maintain best practices because they are facedwith

The first author was very interested inexploring this intersectionality, and thus was formed the genus of this paper. Instead of taking a God-like perspective, we believe that researchers and practitioners arehistorically and socioculturally placed and thus the knowledge generated is socioculturallysituated and not value-free [9], [34]. The authors were mindful of the impact their upbringingand education training have on the sense-making process. Acknowledging that they were by nomeans value-free, the we invited the informants to co-construct the process. We would like toemphasize the ultimate goal, rooted in the

From a social constructionismparadigm and using narrative inquiry methodology, a combination of in vivo and descriptivecoding (first cycle) followed by emergent and focused coding (second cycle) were used by thefirst three authors to generate a codebook.

development, an equally important objective isthat engineering graduates acquire a set of complementary skills highly valued by industry suchas the ability to work effectively in interdisciplinary teams, leadership, time management, life-long learning, and entrepreneurship mind set. To achieve both objectives, we utilized theVertically Integrated Projects (VIP) model for experiential learning to guide our learning-mentoring approach [14,15]. The VIP model relies on long-term, open-ended, and challengingresearch and development projects with multi-year participation from undergraduate studentsworking on the different aspects of the project. Combined with close mentoring of experiencedfaculty and senior student participants, such learning-mentoring

The softwarepackage, therefore, served as an interactive textbook and the primary reference for projectinformation.Redesign problems inherently involve social factors. Inspired by the work of Stephanie Claussenand colleagues [10], there was a desire to incorporate sociotechnical thinking into the course inan authentic way and foster sociotechnical habits of mind. This was accomplished via aninterview assignment adapted from [10] in which students interviewed one engineer (either anengineering student not currently

However, in our practice, most texts and papers lack a strongarticulation and demonstration of various ways to smooth narratives, and do not offerdescriptions of the exact procedure through which narrative smoothing occurs. We thereforehave designed this paper with two ends in mind: First, to promote the credibility and viability ofnarrative analysis for engineering education researchers, there must be greater transparencyregarding how researchers go from a raw interview transcript to a publishable narrative. Second,researchers considering using narrative analysis methods will be more equipped to employ anddefend their methodological decisions in using narrative
