While making the CAM survey items more appropriate to Latinaengineering students, this approach would still leave the two research stages disjointed andunconnected since ethnic identity is a narrowly focused construct that fails to encompass allrelevant parameters. Greater coherence is achieved by incorporating aspects of the CCWMmodel in the first-stage survey instrument. Using Hiramori’s [20] quantitative implementation ofthe CCWM as a guide to modify CAM survey items related to racial identity [5], we willleverage the quantitative first stage results for planning the qualitative CCWM framework in thesecond stage of our study.

While we accounted for this imbalance by analyzing each identityconstruct and refining the item set, we aim for balance among items in each measured construct.Further adjustments include rephrasing the responses to be true/false (vs. yes/no) to avoidconfusion of items that may result in false positives.

Work-life balance (WLB) considerations were found to be very important to currentU.S. civil engineering students (e.g., “I don’t want to spend an excessive number of hours at myjob”) [7]. Concerns about WLB impact STEM students’ planned career trajectories, includingthoughts about leaving STEM [8].
