In order for them to do their job well (that is to bepersuasive for getting consent on interviews), they need to be confident and erudite on thepurpose of the research. A typical resident might like to know, “What is in this for me or mycommunity?”Every interviewed student researcher was asked the question: “What in your own words is thepurpose of this project?” We selected one response to share. I described to the interviewees that people forget that Texas floods because we are in, I think we are technically in a desert, and so people forget that our soil is heavily clay and that in cities, it's a lot of

remains one of the highest among allundergraduate students (Science and engineering indicators, 2006 ; Tinto, 1993). This leads tolow ranking in terms of the supply of STEM professionals and threatens the nation's economicdominance in the global marketplace. As a result, a considerable amount of research has beengenerated to develop intervention and preventative initiatives, including mentorship programsthat address the primary causes of student attrition from STEM fields. Less than half of students who enroll in STEM undergraduate programs as first-yearstudents graduate with a STEM degree at the national level (Hayes et al., 2009). In part as aresult of these high attrition rates, the United States has a consistently low ranking in terms

Most of the stakeholders found all items to beimportant and a cutoff of 0.60 ensured that items from all clusters were included. If there wereitems that had a correlation less than 0.60, but were regarded by stakeholders to be important,those items were retained. Qualitatively, items were added and deleted based on this criterion.As a result, the initial item pool was reduced from 94 to 48 items.

This means that students’ interactions with eachvariable was randomly assigned instead of us as researchers assigning experiences to each agent.Randomizing the variables allows researchers to easily customize the number of agents and createsmore opportunities for a variety of experiences to be represented. The model initiates with each student-agent beginning their first academic year with arandomly prescribed motivation value between 10 and 25 that indicates their desire to go tograduate school.

For example, in each segment of five years, there was a focuson pedagogy (e.g., education, learning, engagement, motivation) and designing games forlearning ( e.g., evaluation, strategies, projects). These concepts were a uniform thread over time.Conversely, special topics of interest appeared and disappeared. Initially, the gaming studies wereprimarily in computing fields and this expanded into other STEM areas over time.
