recruiting participants. Second,conducting pilot studies can help researchers develop and iterate the questions included in aninterview protocol [2, 14].To develop a consensus on how many participants we wanted to use for this study, we utilizedMalterud et al.’s concept of information power (see Figure 1) [15]. Information power helped usanalyze the sample pool from which we had to develop this study methodologically. Accordingto Malterud et al., information power explains that fewer participants are needed if the sampleholds more information important to the study [15]. Five aspects are important to determiningthe information power of a specific sample: study aim, sample specificity, established theory,dialogue quality, and analysis strategy. More

One strandfocuses on changing the terms of course goals and the approaches to targeting students (Wilcox& Akera, 2014), learning methods (Hoole & Hoole, 2002; Shankar et al., 2017), assignments(Bielefeldt, 2014) and interdisciplinary approaches (Brower et al., 2007; Leydens and Lucena,2016).

COVID-19’s Effect on EducationAThe COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges to the education system, and many students struggled. Due to school and home life disruptions during the pandemic, students reported difficulty completing their schoolwork. Specifically, female and underrepresented minority (URM) students reported having more difficulty completing schoolwork[9]. With varying restrictions across states and school

Finally, an associate professor in a different department alsoreported a strong amount of support from both male and female colleagues at ResearchUniversity I. Yet, she described a “systemic bias” during her graduate and postdoctoral careerthat caused some of her female peers to decide not to seek a faculty position. She recalled, “I hada lot of friends who wanted to be faculty and they just got tired. They got tired of constantlyfighting.” At Research University III, women faculty
of astudent’s perceived inclusiveness within an academic unit, provides empirical evidence of theunwelcoming culture of engineering graduate education. According to Gardner et al. [3],engineering graduate students reported a relatively lower sense of belonging within theiracademic department compared to students in other disciplines. O’Meara et al.’s [4] research onSTEM students’ sense of belonging echoed this claim, highlighting that there are fewerfacilitators (e.g., a critical mass of women, micro affirmations) for creating an inclusiveenvironment in STEM graduate programs compared to those in non-STEM disciplines. Theseauthors collectively emphasized the need for investigating engineering graduate studentexperience and integration
