Finally, for the few articles quoted twice, I have assigned them a unique number foreach quote.

Inparallel with the original CCS [19], the CCS-S measures critical reflection’s two sub-components: (1) perceived inequality and (2) egalitarianism. In addition to the CCS-S items, weadministered eight additional items related to critical reflection, motivation, and action orientedtoward inequities in infrastructure and civil engineering. Data for each dimension of criticalconsciousness was analyzed separately, in accord with original scale design features [18], [19
recruiting participants. Second,conducting pilot studies can help researchers develop and iterate the questions included in aninterview protocol [2, 14].To develop a consensus on how many participants we wanted to use for this study, we utilizedMalterud et al.’s concept of information power (see Figure 1) [15]. Information power helped usanalyze the sample pool from which we had to develop this study methodologically. Accordingto Malterud et al., information power explains that fewer participants are needed if the sampleholds more information important to the study [15]. Five aspects are important to determiningthe information power of a specific sample: study aim, sample specificity, established theory,dialogue quality, and analysis strategy. More

One strandfocuses on changing the terms of course goals and the approaches to targeting students (Wilcox& Akera, 2014), learning methods (Hoole & Hoole, 2002; Shankar et al., 2017), assignments(Bielefeldt, 2014) and interdisciplinary approaches (Brower et al., 2007; Leydens and Lucena,2016).

Ernesto described finding friends as a source of support based on his experience in the S-STEM program–this sense of community flourished in his third year as a student at theuniversity. He considers his own introverted nature and his self-consciousness about his Englishas possible factors that impacted his sociability in the department early in his schooling.
