The second strategy is the use ofBoolean operators such as AND/OR and specific keywords to diminish or broaden search results.This strategy allows for a more detailed analysis of the articles being given without having to siftthrough a mountainous amount of these articles. However, depending on the database used, aBoolean operator is not as reliable due to inconsistencies in the proper usage of AND, OR, andapostrophes. The third strategy is the use of a filter to sift through the culminated articles/papersto acquire articles/papers that would be useful to the analysis or discussion at hand. For example,after

[1,9] AlthoughSTEM education research has flourished, there has yet to be equal activity in the propagation of theseinnovations, as the National Research Council (NRC) highlighted. [10] The NRC called for the propagationof engineering education research into practice, including adopting evidence-based practices. Further, theneed for more successful propagation has also been highlighted by an ASEE report [11] that included anappeal to funding agencies to use resources to propagate better efforts that have proven successful.Although educational innovations have been produced over the past few decades, Rogers highlights aneed for knowledge of how to implement the innovation correctly and a lack of underlying

effectiveness of the Capstone project course is the course’saverage numerical evaluation across all sections. Each section is reviewed for overall weightedaverage for all questions specific to the course. Then these averages are gathered and averaged tofind the mean score for the course itself. For academic year 2018-2019, the course averaged 4.11on a 5 scale. This was the transitionary year. In subsequent years, 2019-2020 was 3.83, 2020-2021 was 4.03, 2021-2022 was 4.21 and 2022-2023 averaged 4.14 [Table 4]. The evaluations in2022 and 2023 show a slight increase from 2020 and 2021.

The NSFdefines convergence as “the merging of innovative ideas, approaches, and technologies from awide and diverse range of sectors and expertise.” While this definition is broad, it contains twoimportant words: “merging” and “diverse”. This definition has been further developed by othersin the field. Convergence is explicitly defined by Peek et al. as, An approach to knowledge production and action that involves diverse teams working together in novel ways—transcending disciplinary and organizational boundaries—to address vexing social, economic, environmental, and technical challenges in an effort to reduce

Soon after, the call forpapers for the ASEE 2024 conference emerged. Inspired by a previous lab mate's research work inthe lab focused on autoethnography, Mary decided to participate in the conference by sharing partsof her journey given the call to support and retain Black graduate students in engineering.To decide on what area of her experience she would share using autoethnography, Mary siftedthrough her journals and secondary archives, such as emails, WhatsApp messages, and pictures.This process led her to formulate research questions focusing on her challenges
