instrumentality, whichdescribes the degree to which an individual considers something s/he is learning to be useful inhis/her future. Measures of instrumentality have been shown to predict course performance in avariety of settings, including engineering [33, 34]. Essentially, when students don’t see a need tolearn something, their learning tends to be negatively impacted. Commonly, the courses thatgate-keep advanced coursework—such as capstone design courses—include a large componentof introductory or basic content that stands in as disciplinary knowledge [35]; in such cases,students who don’t see these components as useful will tend to perform less well. Increasinginstrumentality for struggling and underserved learners is one way to support them. For
