That research did not focus on study habits, which is the crux of the present paper’sprocess.The study presented here is also unusual among help-seeking research because the resultsrepresent actual help-seeking behavior rather than an intention to seek help 12,13,14 .

suggest that institution type may providevaluable insight into student identity formation. A potential explanation for this result is the cultural differences in place at eachinstitution. Students at the HSI may attend college with the expectation that they are receiving adegree to pursue a very specific career (e.g., “I’m getting an engineering degree to be anengineer”) while students at the PWI may attend college with the perspective that it will openmany different opportunities for them in the future (e.g., “I’m getting an engineering degreebecause it will allow me to do many different things with my career”). This trend is reflected inthe higher engineering interest and plans to work at an engineering job at the HSI

Also, meetings with academic advisors and information sessions about differentmajors offered are not captured in these data but are likely significant influences to students’ major choicedecisions.Changing Intended Major. The results of the logistic regression indicated that neither identity constructs, norMUSIC model constructs measured in the first-year data were significant predictors of whether a student wouldchange their intended major from their pre-orientation choice.

It is therefore critical that researchersunderstand how to make faculty interaction with evaluation data more useful—especiallyconsidering their susceptibility to bias along lines of privilege and oppression. Moreover, mostresearch in this space has investigated the use and perceptions of existing evaluation measureswith relatively less focus on suggestions for new data. That is, fewer studies have askedengineering faculty to imagine new data, information, or stakeholders that might help themimprove. Such a process would be able to leverage human-centered design principles to developa more valid, meaningful approach to faculty

Since such a large fraction of BioChE students pursue jobs in biotech/pharma, it isimportant that we prepare our graduates for those fields by training them with a wide range ofmodern biotechniques.

The feedback illuminates in-creased student awareness of the importance of computational skills in materials science as theyadvance through the undergraduate program.
