in graduateschool [15]– [4], very few scholars in engineering education research have characterizedstudents' expectations of graduate school and how these expectations do not align with their livedexperiences. Previous work has neglected the impact of misalignments between expectations andexperiences on students' ability to persist, except for Zerbe and Sallai's paper [17]. They foundmisalignments in students' expectations on the psychological level, such as feelings of malaise,the anticipation of being overworked, and the expectation of not having a work-life balance.However, less attention was paid to sociological or policy expectations or misalignments.The present work builds on our group's ongoing exploration of graduate attrition.

Dr. Rahman is the first author who extracted feature-architecture while understanding the best practices of feature management and its impact on software architecture, which is another major research interest of his. Understanding and visualizing feature architecture is necessary to advance software development and engineering by maintaining a controlled architectural growth of software systems. Dr. Rahman is currently focusing on the following research areas: software feature-architecture, release management in trunk based de- velopment, software quality in trunk-based rapid-release cycles

Thislatter approach was the route taken by Illinois State University, a mid-size public university inNormal, Illinois. As a result, the university offered courses with a mix of course instructionalmodalities during the Fall 2020 semester. Each course was designated by the instructor as eithera face-to-face, online-synchronous, online-asynchronous, or hybrid course. Face-to-face coursesmet primarily in-person, with modifications such as social distancing and classroom capacitylimitations in place

The proposed framework should be a strong starting point thatwould allow a more direct comparison between makerspaces and help administrators andpractitioners to determine if reported best practices from literature might be applicable for aspecific makerspace of interest.There is still much research to be done in the field of makerspace benchmarking and comparison.In particular, emphasis on makerspaces in English-speaking countries and their observableelements limits the scope of the proposed system, whereas cultural terms and conventions inother cultures would be valuable addition.

Research on minoritized student successemphasizes the importance of developing a sense of belonging; however, this can be difficult forunderrepresented and minoritized students who do not see many others like them in their classes.Under these circumstances, students from underrepresented populations can feel like they do notbelong in engineering, particularly at U.S. institutions with predominantly

As with design, action research is a nonlinear,systematic process that requires reflection [20]. Involving students as participants and byengaging in transparent communication with them regarding the process and goals willserve to enhance student learning. By undertaking this work through action researchinvestigators and participants engage in opportunities for discernment and discoverythrough a shared set of experiences and goals [19]. Since action research is undertaken inan atheoretical framework, making sense of results may require subsequent work andquestion-specific theoretical frames.

the full spectrum of teaching activity. Some protocols are designed to observe a specific pedagogy in practice. The goal of this project is not to research the effectiveness of one particular pedagogy, it is to research the effectiveness of the space and tools designed to enable the instructor’s teaching plan. If a protocol is too heavily based on observing an expected pedagogy, important observations might go untracked. Active learning classrooms should support a variety of teaching perspectives and pedagogies and be designed in a way that encourages the use of a broad spectrum of learning activities, so the instructor has the flexibility to pick the best teaching approach for their intended goals
