Students were given other work to silently prepare for the lecture when theyfinished the quiz. The instructor could monitor scores coming into Canvas and start lecture whenall students had submitted their responses. If the scores were particularly low, the instructorcould project the quiz on the screen and review the concepts. Digital assignment scores and PCQscores were combined to represent 15% of the course grade. Extra credit points from Masteringcould make up for lost points on PCQs.

The data analysis followed a deductive coding approach grounded inGodwin’s three dimensions of engineering identity—interest, competence/performance, andrecognition—and the framework of future possible selves (hoped-for and feared selves). Forinstance, “interest” was coded using statements such as, “I like tinkering with things and fixingstuff” (Cortex), while “competence” was identified through descriptions of abilities, such as, “Iwas the only mechanical engineer working on the project.” Similarly, “recognition” was codedfrom comments like, “My parents always said I’d be good at this.” Future possible selves werethen incorporated into the analysis, with hoped-for selves
