multidisciplinary learning that transcends traditional content contexts (e.g. arts-based STEM integration). At her free mobile makerspace for K-12 students and teachers, The MAKE Lab (http://themakelab.wp.txstate.edu), she is currently researching how recurring experiences with these design-based technologies impact visual spatial skills, self-efficacy, and positive attitudes toward failure (e.g. persistence in the face of obstacles; reconceptualization of failure as a paradigm for creative learn- ing) with teachers and K–12 students. These concepts are also part of her research as Co-Director of Bobcat Made, which is the collaborative university makerspace.Anna H Wakefield, Texas State UniversityDr. Kimberly Grau Talley P.E., Texas

The research aims this study seeks to address are: Aim 1: Characterize common narratives of Master’s-level departure and model departure decisions over time. Broad questions include: How do narratives of attrition vary by characteristic (e.g., stage of graduate study at time of departure, gender, race)? How do factors of attrition from higher education literature manifest in an engineering context
