students in STEM majors were recruited for this study, which encompasses twointerviews over the 2024-25 academic year. To date, 29 students, 13 of whom are engineeringmajors, have participated in their first interview, which focused on their science or engineeringidentities. We plan to conduct second round interviews with these participants in the comingspring, which will focus on possible selves [18]. Open-ended, semi-structured interviews lasted approximately 30-60 minutes in lengthand were transcribed, with one exception for a participant who wished not to be recorded. Thetranscripts were summarized and then analyzed using a combination of deductive and inductiveapproaches [19]. Transcript data was first categorized according to Godwin’s

Rising temperatures, prolonged droughts, andshifting precipitation patterns, all exacerbated by climate change, have created more favorableconditions for wildfires (Lee and Banerjee 2021, Keelay, J. et al. 2009). Additionally, increaseddevelopment in fire-prone areas and accumulated vegetation due to past fire suppression effortshave further heightened the risk.

Theuniformity in faults in both frameworks allows for comparison of student approaches and success, making theseframeworks promising for student assessment and research purposes. Work is ongoing to study how effective theseframeworks are at teaching and assessing troubleshooting. For future work, we plan to report results measuring howconsistently students fill in the observation worksheet, using the pre-class troubleshooting observation as a controlfor all students.
