I didn’t look like I could help them or knowanything, so I got passed over when it came time for a group project. I wanted to have a chance 14to prove myself like everyone else instead of being assumed to be incompetent. Over the years,my coping mechanism automatically became that of working alone, never asking for help evenwhen I struggled. I was trying to prove that I could do it alone and still do just as well aseveryone else. Unfortunately, in a graduate school doctorate program, that is not the best path totake for long-term success. Researchers

For example, there werethree instances in which caregivers discussed why they do not want to be near water when it waslightening or use electrical devices near water. As stated by Amanda, “The crazy thing aboutwater is that it’s a huge conductor of electricity. And that’s why if you are ever doing anythingelectrical, you don’t want to be around water. Because if there is enough electricity, it will zzzz.”In this case, the information shared may be considered a spontaneous science moment [31], but itdid not impact the process and/or completion of the engineering task.
