’ educational careers [5], it behooves programs to take advantage of the data available tothem in order to better understand the unique backgrounds and needs of students as they navigatethrough the curricula.Accordingly, engineering education researchers have identified many factors that predictengineering students’ academic success [6]–[8]. To build power and generalizability, someanalyses have aggregated data across multiple engineering programs and institutions, such asresearch using the MIDFIELD database [9]. While these generalized insights have valuablecontributions for the engineering community and its subdisciplines, there is also value incontextualizing analyses within specific programs, since departmental culture, studentcomposition, and many

internationally, STEM majors experience more attrition and longer times tograduate than other majors. The high rate of attrition has been documented from a public policystandpoint at various universities in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and SouthAfrica [1]. The cost of attrition is significant. Students who attrite are personally burdened by thecost of a partial education when the costs of college are rising [2] and by the loss of income froma lucrative STEM career. Socially, attrition of STEM majors reduces the size of the workforce ata time of high demand for skilled college graduates [3].

However, engineers are often more familiar with quantitative methods and summarizingtheir findings using numbers [2], which substantially limits the use of qualitative methods.According to Jackson, Drummond, & Camara [3], the goal of qualitative research involves"understanding human beings' richly textured experiences and reflections about thoseexperiences" (p. 22). As engineers have become familiar with qualitative methodologies [1-2],researchers have begun to explore different types of approaches to illuminate the humanexperience. It is clear that different engineers, engineering students, and engineering facultyexperience their education and careers differently, which modern studies have only begun todescribe [4-6
