Using this coding scheme both researchers coded eachparticipant’s response at the same time. This procedure allowed the researchers to resolve anydiscrepancies during the coding process.

students developtheir own personal identities as engineers. As published previously by Atadero et al., studentswith inclusive professional identities will possess four different attributes: (a) the necessarytechnical knowledge, skills, and abilities to work in their chosen field, (b) an appreciation forhow all kinds of diversity strengthen engineering and computer science as disciplines, (c)knowledge of how to act in inclusive ways and create inclusive environments within their fields,and (d) consideration of diverse populations who are impacted by their professional practice [3].Attributes (a), (b), and (d) were kept in mind when analyzing both the logistics of the activities,as well as the student experience. Attribute (c) was not considered for

Each emergent theme isdiscussed in more detail below.A. Informal MentoringIn the analysis of collected data from the focus groups a surprising theme emerged.

The videolecture discussed the method and some of the considerations for designing a PD controller.Unlike the freshman video lecture, this video was viewed by the students prior to coming toclass. In class, students asked questions about the theory discussed in the video. In theremaining class time, the instructor discussed a design problem with direct student-teacherinteraction.The teaching process implemented with the senior students more closely follows the scenario forusing video technology proposed in this paper.

This sense of belonging and theperceived and actual quality of learning, together with any external commitments, lead to arevision of the initial goals and commitments, and to the decision to stay or leave. This decisionmaking process is a continuous process, because student characteristics and institutional andexternal environments can and do change over time.3.b Transfer studentsIn general, about 23 percent of students nationwide leave their initial program voluntarily 5.Including academic dismissal, nationwide attrition from higher education has been consistentlyaround 50 percent for several decades 6, 7.
