The interviews also included questionsabout why students chose engineering as a major and SoEng as a school, how they facedand overcame difficult academic moments, and what advices they would give to newstudents and to the institution. The interview was also enhanced with a journey-mapexercise1 about the student experiences in first year. This technique was used to elicitstudents’ perceptions and experiences occurred during their first year. The instruction forthis drawing exercise was giving once students confirmed their participation in theinterview. Their maps were the starting point of the conversations and were consulted overthe interview. Each interview lasted between 30 and 45 minutes. The sample consisted of students

conveys success comes with time and by sharing lived experiences. Kate depicts that our image of success is co-constructed by interacting with others which informs our own understanding of success. Then iteratively over time, you’ll see yourself as successful and see others as successful. Kate maps the “different levels of success” by explaining the transition from understanding to seeing others as successful. Although Kate critiques the competitive workplace environment and societal definitions of success, she sees success as an end goal with multiple paths. Kate has described the process of becoming successful through goal obtainment. If goals are salient to how Kate defines success, then her lower grit-factor score

students face early on can help boost retention and the quality of students’ overallexperience in the long term.Background and ObjectivesThe college enrollment process is a complicated journey for many students, filled with confusionand stress, but also excitement and hope. Some may have known their dream school since theywere children, whereas others are only beginning to explore their options as they complete highschool. A plethora of factors influence prospective students’ enrollment intentions. Rising costsare a concern for many students, either limiting their options to in-state universities or makingthem feel locked out of a system they are otherwise academically prepared for [1]. The financialchallenges are further amplified by mixed

We are curious to see if this process of mapping outalternate scales will find resonance in a broader communication community, one outside ourlocal context (Walther, Sochacka, & Kellam, 2013). Rather than seeking to generalize from thesefindings or make definitive policy changes based on how alternate educational scales are made orlived, we wish to highlight their existence and comment on their divergence or convergence ascompared to existing educational scales whose spatial and temporal features have gone largelyunexamined in engineering education in the context of curricular reform.FindingsDrawing on the five aspects of educational scale as defined by
