The largest benefits tothis group derive not necessarily from practicing hard skills, but being surrounded by like-minded peers who support their classwork and share similar interests. The second group ofstudents who use the space for specific tasks make up the majority of the engineering andpersonal projects that move through the space, and are notably less communicative than thesocial students.

. Due toCOVID and the heavier workload it entails, this option was only taken by a very smallpercentage of the class. In general, we found that if an extended learning opportunity such as thehonors section required a lot of time, it was to be expected that a small number of students wouldchoose this path, due to the already rigorous engineering curriculum. The second optional pathwas an extra credit learning module and quiz on multitasking, which all students in the classwere encouraged to complete. When creating this optional module, we were mindful of allstudents in the course, especially those who are already struggling, by choosing a gradingscheme carefully and emphasizing that the module was an extended learning opportunity, not

Even our own identity in the world can be thoughtof as a narrative in our minds, and to imagine our future selves we must construct a futurenarrative. It is this power of story that we believe needs to be fundamentally embraced bydiversity efforts in engineering and computing to make a significant change in our demographicchallenges. And yet, the power of story is left, mostly, unexplored in engineering as it does not fitwith our STEM-focused fields that sit strongly in the camps of quantitative evidence, testing, anddesign.We will argue in this paper, that there is convincing evidence that leveraging the power of storymight be the “holy grail” for changing
