As the project advances, research papers on project activities and assessments will be submitted for presentation at conferences such as ASEE & ITiCSE. These conferences will provide venues for obtaining additional input and accomplishing broader community building. In 2014, a journal paper was also successfully published in the ASEE – Computers in Education journal. The investigators plan to submit additional articles in ACM Queue (Magazine), ACM Transactions on S/W Engineering and Methodology, and IEEE Transactions in S/W Engineering.  Page

instrumentality, whichdescribes the degree to which an individual considers something s/he is learning to be useful inhis/her future. Measures of instrumentality have been shown to predict course performance in avariety of settings, including engineering [33, 34]. Essentially, when students don’t see a need tolearn something, their learning tends to be negatively impacted. Commonly, the courses thatgate-keep advanced coursework—such as capstone design courses—include a large componentof introductory or basic content that stands in as disciplinary knowledge [35]; in such cases,students who don’t see these components as useful will tend to perform less well. Increasinginstrumentality for struggling and underserved learners is one way to support them. For
