understand students’engineering identity development.” Thus, we feel this validated instrument is a strong fit for ourongoing study. In addition to Godwin’s identity instrument, the students were asked a series ofquestions in key theme areas, including the decision to enter engineering, prior mentoringexperiences and educational experiences. Topics queried are as follows: 1. To what extent did the following factors influence your decision to major in engineering: Parent(s), Sibling, Other relative, Friends, Guidance counselor, Extra-curricular activities, Career interests, Teachers, Potential future earnings, Other. In this case the responses were on a 5-point Likert scale from “Very important” = 1 to “Not at all important” = 5. 2
them. Retrieving data using the Arduino kit was relatively simple;however, data retrieval during resistor capacitor discharge was more challenging as students oftenhad to add more resistors to increase the time constant of the voltage drop. It was educational todetermine the selection of resistors required to collect the desired number of data points over atime period. The difficulty was in analyzing the data using Excel and compiling the handcalculations. The grades for the labs were a broad range from 50 to 96 with averages in the low tomid 80’s and standard deviation of 7 to 11. Data analysis and write up were where most pointswere lost.
