Both graduate student researchers co-designed with the end user to developprojects or products [1]. Graduate student researchers in engineering education constantly designresearch studies, tools, and environments with their advisors, peers, and other researchers.However, opportunities to co-design engineering projects with learners and educators are lesscommon for engineering education graduate students. Yet the work that graduate studentresearchers develop can influence K-12 educators and students and vice versa. Thus, graduatestudent researchers must have experience working with learners and

these efforts, first-generation students are stillless likely than their peers to persist or graduate from college [4] and there is the need forcolleges to understand the skills that first-generation students bring to college, and the skills thatthey perceive to be important to help them succeed in their coursework.The low number of women studying engineering at colleges continues to also be a problem,despite the efforts to increase the representation of women. According to the 2022 AmericanSociety of Engineering Education (ASEE) report, women made up only 25.5% of the totalundergraduate engineering enrollment compared to men at 74.5% [5]. The retention rates forwomen undergraduate engineering students are also highly concerning, as 22.7% of

Based on our findings, we discussed how the lens of STEM teacherPD has tended to focus on numbers rather than the quality of pedagogical instructionalpractice. Our study also revealed that the recruitment of participants of the PD interventions,more often than not, failed to cater to the gender diversity of teachers in the respectivesettings.

First, participants were asked to recall the reasons that they participate inout-of-class activities and write the reasons on a blank paper. This step allowed the participantsto recall their decision-making processes freely. Second, participants read the Q-set and, if any oftheir reasons were not on the cards, use one blank card per missing reason to record each missingreason. These new reasons formed the basis of new items.    Third, participants sorted Q-set 1 into three groups: ‘yes’ (this is a reason that I participate in out-of-class activities), ‘maybe’ (this may be a reason that I participate) and ‘no’ (this is not a

AbstractIn this research paper, we explore student responses to Utility Value Interventions in staticscourses. Introductory engineering mechanics courses (e.g., statics, dynamics) are critical pointswithin a curriculum, and student performance in these courses can have a strong influence onfuture success. And while these courses are often thought of as “weed out” courses, the ubiquityof these courses for engineers is what makes them an important place for students to develop themotivation to persist through their engineering education. One particularly promising tool for thisdevelopment has been Utility Value Interventions (UVIs) in which students are given opportunitiesto reflect on how their coursework aligns with their lives through short writing

UVIs have been used in STEM education as well as other disciplines to increasemotivation and a growing body of research has demonstrated positive student outcomes. Forexample, Hulleman et al.
