factors that influence the actual choice ofgraduate school plans by students, and provides faculty members the information necessary torecruit more highly-qualified engineering students to engineering graduate school.Introduction Maintaining a competitive lead in science, technology, mathematics, and engineering(STEM) education has proven to be a challenge for the United States despite significant effortsto improve the recruitment and retention of STEM students. Fears of increasing globalcompetition compound the perception that there has been a large decline in the supply of humanresources in the STEM graduate education. Many other countries are increasing the number ofSTEM graduates who receive master’s and Ph.D. degrees, while U.S

Not only does co-design allow for various stakeholders to be a part of thedesign process, but it also affords opportunities to discuss how to navigate some of thecomplexities that can come about from individuals with different roles in the design process i.eeducators who will put into practice what is designed and students, who will be on the receivingend of the design. Co-design as a method for developing inclusive practices reinforces the ideathat diverse perspectives are welcomed in engineering education. As the world continues tobecome dependent on technology, it remains important that we support the success of a diversityof engineering students.

Using student-level data inKentucky, Delaney20 found that students were more likely to major in science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) after the adoption of merit-based scholarship. In contrast,Hu21 revealed a significant drop in the percentage of STEM students since Florida initiated theBright Futures merit-based scholarship.

always had an interest in this question and decided to tackle it during the course of my doctoral studies, which were advised by Joe Sinfield. Innovation, however, is a broad topic, one that could perhaps be said to have no home as it lives across fields such as management, technology studies, design, engineering, economics, engineering education, and psychology. Those who study innovation tend to focus either on characterizing innovation or on characterizing innovators, and at the outset of my study I felt a strong tension while trying to decide which one – innovations or innovators – to focus on. Although I could not understand why, I felt strongly inclined to study both, and thus my
