students work with faculty members atthe host university, they typically work most closely on a day-to-day basis with graduate studentor postdoctoral mentors who work in the faculty member’s laboratory. The majority of theengineering mentorship literature is focused on faculty as mentors, not graduate student mentorsor postdoctoral researchers. Generally, much of the existing literature relating to mentorship in engineering exploresthe mentor’s experience (typically focusing on faculty as mentors) (Dolan & Johnson, 2009;Mena & Schmitz, 2013; Revelo & Loui, 2016; Tsai, Kotys-Schwartz, Louie, Ferguson, & Berg,2012, 2013) rather than the mentee’s experience (Ahn, 2014; Ahn, Cox, Diefes-Dux, &Capobianco, 2013; Faurot, Doe

Thisallowed for lab exercises calculating heat transfer, air flow, thermodynamics, hydronics, efficiencies, etc.The resulting lab curriculum benefits students insomuch as it

In our study, we explored whether we could help students persist inengineering by encouraging such positive learning dispositions and behaviors.In this work-in-progress paper, we report preliminary results from a one-credit course called“Engineering the Mind.” We used design-based research and the Transtheoretical Model (TTM)of Health Behavior Change to design the course and assess the outcomes. The goal of the coursewas to encourage students to adopt positive learning dispositions and behaviors by teaching themhow the brain works.BackgroundDesign-based research (DBR) is a research method that evaluates theory-based interventions(that were developed in laboratory conditions) in complex
