be particularly challenging for studentswho have deficiencies in math or struggle with soft skills such as time management and studytechniques. Students who earn a GPA below 2.0 at the end of a semester are placed on academicprobation, and multiple semesters of probation may lead to dismissal from an engineeringprogram. This study focuses on students currently on academic probation.The study was conducted in a first-year engineering program at an R-1 land-grant institution inthe mid-Atlantic region. Forty-five students on academic probation were enrolled in an academicsuccess skills course and assigned to a student success coach. The coaches in the program weregraduate students enrolled in either a master's or doctoral engineering program at

Context and ParticipantsThis pilot study was conducted at a small, mid-Atlantic, private college (Elizabethtown College)that is starting up a new “incubation” location in Vermont (The Greenway Center for Equity andSustainability in Engineering). The engineering program at the incubation campus was designedaround evidence-based practices with proven effectiveness at supporting the success ofunder-represented students, including: ● strong mentorship, ● hands-on and problem-based learning, ● supportive and mastery-based assessment, and ● a mission-driven focus (sustainability) ● close connection to business and industry applicationsLearning was organized around a series of projects with real world applications. Each of theseprojects

following: RQ 1. How do graduate engineering and design students commonly conceptualize interdisciplinary education across two universities? RQ 2. What are the variations in students’ conceptualizations of interdisciplinary education across the two universities?MethodsStudy BackgroundStudy Site 1: A United States UniversityOur first project site was an interdisciplinary graduate program (referred to as the IDR Programfrom here) funded through the National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Traineeshipprogram at a large land-grant university in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States.
