graduate career was the concept of reflexivity.This reflexivity was represented in my methodological coursework as a tool to be used whileconducting qualitative research. As a means of checks and balances, this tool’s purported usebecame a way to navigate through qualitative research in a manner that acknowledged therelationship between the researcher as an instrument and the processing of information over thecourse of research projects [8]. This navigation can be conceptualized in practices such as fieldtexts and reflections before, after, and during interaction with research participants as a means toshow proof of consideration of positionality, specifically for communities of color [9]. This tool,however, seemed to be accepted as a one size

weconceived of the studio courses, the intended aims were: • For faculty to help students connect the dots between the various content courses that students take during the semester and help them see how their learning fits into a broader perspective. The hope was that these connections between courses and their relation to the students’ career fields would result in a transformative learning experience [9]. • For computer students to form a cohort of peer learners early in their academic career. Many studies have shown that students who belong to a community of learners tend to be more engaged and are more likely to be successful in the program [10], [11]. Because military veteran students

However, other skills are integral to the engineering career path.Within industry, it is communication skills that often make or break careers. Technically capableengineers will find their careers stagnating without well-developed communication skills, which are anessential part of engineering work.
