development, an equally important objective isthat engineering graduates acquire a set of complementary skills highly valued by industry suchas the ability to work effectively in interdisciplinary teams, leadership, time management, life-long learning, and entrepreneurship mind set. To achieve both objectives, we utilized theVertically Integrated Projects (VIP) model for experiential learning to guide our learning-mentoring approach [14,15]. The VIP model relies on long-term, open-ended, and challengingresearch and development projects with multi-year participation from undergraduate studentsworking on the different aspects of the project. Combined with close mentoring of experiencedfaculty and senior student participants, such learning-mentoring

with significant financial need that requires them towork extensive hours, slowing progress toward engineering degree completion. Additionally,many of these students are also first-generation college students and students fromunderrepresented demographics which can further impede development of a STEM identity andsense of belonging within their engineering discipline.With this background in mind, the Urban STEM Collaboratory project is designed to: 1. Increase the retention, success, and graduation rates of academically talented and financially needy undergraduate engineering majors; 2. Implement sustainable interventions that support academic success, STEM identity, and workforce readiness of engineering students; 3

Part of a larger state-wide initiative, NDSU identified a specificgoal of making the programs that were developed remotely accessible and, specifically, militaryaccessible. Military members (including active duty and veterans) are seen to be excellentcybersecurity students due to their warfighting background, which can be directly leveraged toprovide the appropriate frame of mind for cybersecurity operations, whether from an offensive ordefensive perspective. This paper covers on the development of the programs and courses at thedepartmental level. A key decision that was made early in the process was to

and what attributes high-quality narrative smoothingdemonstrate [5], [7], [17]. However, in our practice, most texts and papers lack a strongarticulation and demonstration of various ways to smooth narratives, and do not offerdescriptions of the exact procedure through which narrative smoothing occurs. We thereforehave designed this paper with two ends in mind: First, to promote the credibility and viability ofnarrative analysis for engineering education researchers, there must be greater transparencyregarding how researchers go from a raw interview transcript to a publishable narrative. Second,researchers considering using narrative analysis methods will be more equipped to employ anddefend their methodological decisions in using narrative
