installations and performances, as well as designers of interactive narratives and experiences. Within the context of this growing industry and students’ need, we choose to more carefully examine students’ interest in creating a joint academic program between technology and art. Related Work and Foundations of CIA Programs focused on the integration of engineering and art for the purpose of interactive entertainment are not new. Some of the older successful programs include, Carnegie Mellon’s “Integrative Design, Art and Technology’ program, USC’s “Interactive Media & Game Division”, Clemson’s “Digital Production Arts” and

andgraduation rates, and close the achievement gap that often exists between underrepresented(URM) students and non-URMs.A study of the impact of growth mindset and belonging interventions was designed andimplemented in the 2015-2016 academic year in an Introduction to Engineering Course typicallytaken in the freshman year of all engineering and technology programs at a large comprehensivepublic university. The interventions were adapted from prior successful interventions byestablished researchers. Preliminary results upon the conclusion of the Spring 2016 semestershowed that the interventions had different effects on different demographic groups. Thebelonging intervention resulted in higher course performance compared to the control groupamong the
