7. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: Research Study
What do thriving undergraduate engineering students look like? We are seeking volunteers who have experience teaching, supporting, advising, mentoring, or working directly with undergraduate engineering students. Only people like you can provide the information needed for this study, and the results will be published as part of my dissertation research. The purpose of this study is to determine a consensus model of thriving for undergraduate engineering students. To achieve a consensus, the survey will be administered for up to four rounds between June and September 2019. Each round will take approximately 15-25 minutes to complete. I value your input and would be very grateful if you could take some time to complete this first survey by Monday, July 1. Please note that participation in this study is completely voluntary. Your responses have the potential to help many students and improve the future of engineering education. Please email Julianna Ge at ge45@purdue.edu if you would like more information and/or have questions about the study.
