To explore RQ1 and RQ2, Scheidt [14] used nationaldata from the initial deployment of the survey in 2017-2018 and found that engineering studentsNCA profiles fall into four discernable clusters. At the time, the data set included 2339undergraduates at 17 different institutions. The clusters include: • Cluster 1: The Typical Cluster (n = 832). Members of this cluster had factor means that were all similar to the overall sample mean. • Cluster 2: High Positive NCA Factors but with a Fixed Mindset (n = 500). The members in Cluster 2 were generally high in many of the factors, with many statistically different from all other clusters

Demographic Shift in the National Population (ESRI, 2012) Research indicates that there is a connection between parents' social-economic status andtheir children's achievements in education and profession. Consequently the social-economicdisparities are often passed onto the next generation. Many minority families do not have accessto information about the educational system in a way that helps support their children to besuccessful in the U.S. school system (American Psychological Association, 2012).

This led to a consensus on the uses of a missionstatement. “Who uses the mission statement to do what?” was the guiding question for all facultyto start envisioning what the revised mission statement should be.
