Satterfield et. al [30]. noted that the pool of research on the graduatestudent experience in STEM was limited and compiled a comprehensive literature review in2018 to set the stage for future work. The summary focused on the experiences of graduatestudents during their studies, and how individual factors (the influence of the student’s advisor),programmatic factors (isolation and teaching assistantships), and external factors (work-lifebalance and family influence) influence their persistence in the field [30].

Then participants were shown the survey and responded aloud to how they wouldanswer survey items. The interviewer(s) asked concurrent probing questions as participantsanswered these questions aloud, and at the end of each section of related items, theinterviewers asked broader retrospective questions.

The GPT-4 model tended to identifymore basic relationships, while manual analysis identified more nuanced relationships.Our results do not currently support using GPT-4 to automatically generate graphicalrepresentations of faculty’s mental models of assessments. However, using a human-in-the-loopprocess could help offset GPT-4’s limitations. In this paper, we will discuss plans for our futurework to improve upon GPT-4’s current performance.IntroductionAssessments are found in every engineering classroom and are an important part of our educationsystem [1]-[3].

Feelings of safety to be oneself, community, and sharedopportunities play a role in this contribution [17]. In their work on the social networks ofLGBTQ+ STEM students, Hughes et al.

ability.In the second year of the program (2018), the project team introduced a second measure, theRevised Minnesota Paper Form Board Test (RMPFBT) [12]. First published in the 1930’s, thetest measures an individual's ability to manipulate two-dimensional objects in their mind and isoften used to assess spatial visualization skills in engineering students. Unlike the PSVT:R, theRMPFBT has two equivalent forms, which should reduce practice effects. In 2018 and 2021,form AA was given as the pre-test, and BB was given as the post-test. In 2019 and 2022, theforms were reversed (BB as the pre-test). As a paper-and-pencil test, the RMPFBT could not beadministered in 2020.Reliability refers to the stability of test scores over time and the internal

SEhad a positive correlation with OE and SS and a negative correlation with BR. OE waspositively correlated with SS, interests, and CG while negatively correlated with BR. IN waspositively correlated with CG and negatively correlated with BR. These results align with theresults of Inda et al.’s (2013) paper, which found that SE, OE, and IN mediate the effect ofcontextual supports and BR on college students’ intentions to embark on a degree inengineering.

method is structural analysis, where a researcher observes anarrative by identifying the outline, or structure, of how it's told. Structural analysis involvespiecing together the plot of the story without making inferences that may shift the storyteller'swords. The third method, constructed narrative analysis, closely relates to Polkinghorne's [20]narrative analysis technique, where specific events are synthesized to form one main narrative.This form of analysis may involve direct quotes from the participant(s), inviting the reader tomake their own inferences.Kellam et. al [13] points out the trade-offs with using each type of analysis method, as each typemay be beneficial for answering different questions. However, they make it clear that the
) and macroethical situations (e.g., anengineering profession’s social responsibility considered collectively) (Herkert, 2005). Thisexists against a backdrop of increased attention on companies’ efforts on corporate socialresponsibility (CRS), given that “companies perform their CSR duty to fulfill their socialobligations not only to extend their market reach but also as a strategy to fulfill the socialobligation[s] placed on firms by society” (Lin, Banik, & Yi, 2016, p. 108). Looking at these side-by-side, it is almost unsurprising that some researchers such as Smith et al. (2021) would call forthe need for grounding engineering ethics education around CRS efforts to enhance students’ roleethics.Codes of ethics arise frequently in
