This method allows for the deep examination of a phenomenonthrough the convergent analysis of different data sources [32], [33]. Our research questions are: 1)How might the faculty development experience have impacted participant instructors’instructional practices in the long term? 2) How might the faculty development experience haveimpacted participant instructors’ perceptions and beliefs about learning and teaching in the longterm?The study participants are six instructors

The tension of practicality alongside knowledge generation ispalpable in engineering research work, as engineering scientists often balance and blendpostpositivist and naturalistic approaches. Due to the applied nature of engineering research,engineering research work often takes a pragmatic approach, employing whatever epistemic andmethodological modes seem to best answer the question presented [54].Engineering Research FundingFunding availability and source hold a salient position in all threads of research work, and it is nodifferent for engineering.

Toaddress this finding, the goal of our S-STEM program is to implement evidence-based best practices toincrease retention and graduation rates of low-income academically talented STEM students to levels thatmatch our overall STEM population. To accomplish this goal, we are seeking to: 1. implement best-practices with regards to cohort development and faculty, peer, and alumni mentoring programs to support the ADAPT Scholars, 2. develop targeted enrichment and mentoring activities

in whiteness and maleness [63], [64]. Whenwork exclusively considers engineering broadly, programmatic and curricular practices may bedeveloped that also support this narrow interpretation of interest and identity. Almost allparticipants mention an interest outside of engineering, fewer described this interest with adegree of commitment, and even fewer actually integrated this interest by pursuing it throughclasses, a minor, or a double major. A key reason for not doing so was the limitations of time intheir program and the fear it would impact their graduation time or cost them too much money.However, many participants had a math minor despite the lack of connection between it and theirinterests or goals. The ease of adding this minor
