education is often described by faculty and graduate students as “a journey”, “alearning process”, and “a transformative experience”. These descriptions speak to theexperiential nature of doctoral education which aims at bringing about some change in studentsto prepare them for their future career. In the research literature, the path and process ofbecoming an engineering education researcher is an emerging field. In this paper, we present theframing of a co-operative inquiry project to explore our personal growth as graduate students.Co-operative inquiry is a research method in which multiple people share and explore a topicfrom their own perspectives through collective dialogue, reflection, interrogation, andtransformation.

Overall, students described that while their research amounted to more work than theyexpected, they also learned more than they expected. Specifically, students generally reported thatthey learned a lot about water quality and constructed wetlands, how to reformulate their researchhypotheses in light of new data or situations, how to find and read primary literature, and perhapsmost important for their future careers and surprising to

In the discipline ofscience, one especially promising approach has been literacy-infused instruction, whichincreases adolescents’ understandings of scientific principles (Hand, Wallace, & Yang, 2004;Romance & Vitale, 1992: Spence, Yore, & Williams, 1999) with even greater effect sizes forunderrepresented populations (Cervetti, Barber, Dorph, Pearson, & Goldschmidt, 2012; Chen,Hand, & McDowell, 2013; Greenleaf et al., 2011).

underrepresentation of women (in particular, women of lowsocio-economic status) in engineering careers by studying the impact of an arts-infusedengineering intervention in the middle grades. Engineering, like the other STEM (Science,Technology, Engineering and Math) fields, has traditionally been perceived as a male domain,whereas the arts and humanities have traditionally been viewed as more “feminine” fields. 1These stereotypes have been increasingly challenged, including by studies that show girls earnhigher grades than boys in all subject areas, at all stages of their K-12 schooling. 2 Yet, in thepost-secondary realm, males continue to dominate the STEM fields in terms of educationaldegrees earned and career paths. This phenomenon has been attributed to
