support grit development in first-generationcollege students.Introduction First-generation college students face numerous unique challenges within higher educationthat offer particular opportunities for research and interventions to improve their enrollment andretention. This population has potential to add to the field of engineering as they bring with themunique lived experiences. First-generation college students have been described as invisibleinnovators [1]. Smith and Lucena [1] argue if first-generation college students’ funds of knowledgeare equally valued knowledge as that of the dominant engineering culture, these students’ can belegitimate creators of knowledge and contribute to innovative solutions in the engineeringenterprise

For example, prompt 3 (with the focus on attendance) andprompt 4 (with the focus on grading) were constructed based on ideas that came up in previousteaming sessions. The prompts about being back on campus (prompt 1), back in the classroom(prompt 2), and back to normal (prompt 6) were constructed to create continuity with worldevents and the general context. The prompts about something you'd like students to know aboutyou (prompt 8) and a situation where you felt cared for (prompt 9) were connected to broaderdepartmental goals.These dimensions are by

Brunhaver et al. explain that with technical knowledge and skills becoming “less central orless sufficient” for performing engineering work, professional knowledge and skills have becomemore significant [2]. As such, programs are now tasked with widening their focus towards notonly ensuring that their graduates obtain adequate in-depth discipline specific knowledge,decision making and problem-solving skills but also towards ensuring that graduates areacquainted with ample informal pedagogies to support the
