Combining advice from three popular guides (Stewart,et al; Krueger and Casey; and MacNealy) generates the following procedures: Identify the problem(s) to be addressed and the purposes of the study. As noted earlier, focus groups are most useful for exploring or confirming a topic. Because of the small sample size, they do not provide statistical projections or lend themselves to causal analysis. Therefore the problems and purposes identified and the questions asked should be open-ended and
aimed at improvingthe engagement, retention, and graduation of students underrepresented in engineering. Thesecomponents include: “intrusive” academic advising and support services, intensive first-yearacademic curriculum, community-building (including pre-matriculation summer programs),career awareness and vision, faculty mentorship, NSF S-STEM scholarships, and second-yearsupport.This work in progress paper describes the implementation of the Redshirt program2 at each of thesix Redshirt in Engineering Consortium institutions, providing a variety of models for how an1 For brevity, we will use the acronyms listed in this table in place of the full names of theinstitutions throughout the paper.extra preparatory year or other intensive academic

She stated, I had realized the mental and emotional toll that grad school was heaping on [me], honestly, unrealistic level[s] of expectations, the multiple projects, and the teaching, and still dealing with personal life, and all while being thrown in the deep end. No one actually ever teaches you how to do research. You just kind of sink or swim.Giselle’s increased mental distress led to her decision to take a leave of absence.

especially true at public institutions driven toexpand access while improving retention rates, based on performance metrics set by the state.Retention studies have been conducted for nearly every sub-population including women andmany racial and ethnic groups. Some of the work has shifted to intersectional analyses—forexample, Archer’s exploration of black male students’ resistance to “geeky” identities [10], orJohnson et al.’s study which highlights some Native American and Latina women’s preference towork as scientists within their ethnic communities as a method of balancing ethnic andengineering identities [11]. However, less work has been done on the interactions that occuracross different student cohorts. Indeed, scholars have argued that due

Similarly, due to the professional diversityfactor, the number of proposed alternative names per topic and subtopic confirmed was alsoless than in Experiment 2. And like in Experiment 2’s discussion, the results show that with moreautomation (consensus building for the data analysis of topics, subtopics, and name analyses)outputs a quicker data analyses duration.

There arean increasing number of examples of efforts to introduce issues of equity in concert withinfrastructure in the literature. Sanford et al. conducted a systematic review of literaturedescribing interventions that have been implemented in practice [13]. Examples include Casperet al.’s efforts to integrate social justice into first and third year civil engineering courses [14],case studies developed by Judge [15], and Castaneda et al.’s
(2013) this is still happening [3]. A reason why this continues to be an issue may be a gap in theliterature with the lack of papers describing best practices on recruiting and retaininginternational students [3]. Considering that, in 2013 Özturgut (2013) implemented a study to look Page 19.19.3into this issue and wrote an initial study on those best practices. The summary of the results arebelow: Best Practices in Recruiting International Students that emerged from Özturgut (2013)’s study on international student recruitment are: 1.

This survey was developed at the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation – College ofEducation North Carolina University [18] to collect and interpret information about students’ attitudestoward science, technology, engineering, and mathematics subjects, postsecondary pathways, andcareer interests. This instrument is free to access and modify for educational use and can be adapted tolocal conditions as long as the source is cited.Given that the audience of the course is Spanish-speaking, the project used, translated, and adapted aversion

Also, all the authorsmet on Zoom collectively twice. Author 1 and author 2 discussed the findings and theirnarratives multiple times.
