Her team, Beliefs in Engineering Re- search Group (BERG) utilizes qualitative methods to explore beliefs in engineering. Her research has an overarching goal of leveraging engineering education research to shift the culture of engineering to be more realistic and inclusive. Dr. Dringenberg is also interested in neuroscience, growth mindset, engi- neering ethics, and race and gender in engineering. In general, she is always excited to learn new things and work with motivated individuals from diverse backgrounds to improve the experiences of people at any level in engineering education

They also noted that not all veterans are the same:Navy veterans are different from Army veterans, etc., but still they have more common ground,and similar work ethic, than they do with the traditional population of students.

Moreover, it wasshown that EGR 101 had the greatest effect on the group termed ‘Support Seekers’, composed ofstudents with below median ACT math scores but above median high school GPA’s. The latterindicates greater work ethic and ability to persevere in engineering, while the former mayarguably indicate below median ‘ability’. Thus, the mitigation of ACT math score associatedwith the F04-F06 cohorts was due to the fact that the low ACT math students who enrolled inEGR 101 were predominantly ‘support seekers’, who had the work ethic and perseverancerequired to progress through the remedial math sequence before enrolling in EGR 101.
