Over a quarter of all undergraduate students are studentparents, and almost half of all undergraduate student-parents are enrolled in community colleges (Noll etal., 2017). Additionally, 35.5% of master’s program students, and 28.4% of doctoral program students(National Center for Education Statistics, 2010) in the United States are parents.

It is composed of 14 items measuring three subconstructs: a motivational, a behavioral,and a cognitive component to academic commitment. An example of the cognitive component is“I am perfectly comfortable with the fact that studies such as mine may involve certaindifficulties” and responses varying between (1) Does not characterize me at all to (8)Characterizes me completely.

Very similar approaches can be found in the“Report of the Future Ready Engineering Ecosystem (FREE)” [5: p.3-2], which was presentedby the ASEE in 2024. With reference to Schwab and Davis, they mention the following keyprinciples: “1) Focus on systems that deliver human well-being, not just on technologies; 2)Manage technologies with diverse human decision-making and agency, instead of giving in toa determinist view of technology; 3) Employ human-centered design thinking, not passive ac-ceptance of technology as the default; and 4) Recognize values as a core feature, instead ofperceiving technology as neutral and values as interference.” It is therefore about responsibleaction

By far, the biggestissue was engagement.
