Directed edges drawn as dashedlines correspond to co-requisites. The complexity of each curriculum was computed using aunitless graph-theoretic metric imposed by the pre- and co-requisite relationships betweenthe courses in a curriculum. This metric, referred to as structural complexity, involves twofactors. First, each course c in a curriculum is assigned a blocking factor which is simplythe number of courses a student is precluded from taking, due to pre- and co-requisiteconstraints, until they have successfully completed course c. In Figure 1 (b), the blockingfactor of the Calculus

Subjective task value encompasses several components: a)intrinsic value (the inherent enjoyment or interest in the task), b) attainment value (the personalimportance of doing well on the task, often linked to one's identity), c) utility value (theperceived usefulness of the task in achieving future goals), and d) cost (the perceived negativeaspects of engaging in the task, such as effort, time, and potential loss of alternative activities).EVT suggests that individuals are more likely to engage in tasks where they expect to succeedand that they value highly.

Family is part of a student’s community in engineeringA person’s community in engineering often defines how successful they will be in their career,or how many challenges they will be able to easily overcome. When we asked students abouttheir community in engineering, four out of five mentioned that their family is part of theircommunity. Family members were “motivational” or supportive by providing words ofaffirmation especially when students were facing challenges. For example, Rogelio, discusseshow his mom is motivational, and also how his school counselor was pivotal in helping him toovercome challenges.
