disciplinespecific engineering laboratories. Data were collected in three streams. First, through identical pre-test and posttest surveysmeasuring attitudes and interest in STEM fields. This survey, which took approximately tenminutes to complete, was a slightly modified version of the Friday Institute’s S-STEM survey[16] which has been shown to be a valid instrument for understanding student attitudes fordifferent STEM disciplines. Second, focus group interviews related to attitudes and interests inengineering were conducted. The focus group protocol and questions were created by the team ofresearchers to address specific topics around the research questions including student interest andidentity around engineering tasks. The third data collection
