those involved when choosing to return toparticipants for further consent. The research design of the SDA project was presented at theAmerican Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) National Conference [2]. Theimportance of positionality of the researchers is further explored in [3].Lessons from the Mini-ProjectsOverall, three significant results have emerged from the work to date: 1. Ethical considerationsNeither original research study was designed with SDA in mind, leading to extendednegotiations with university review boards. Ideally, researchers could plan for SDA prior to datacollection, first carefully considering whether the planned data could and should be available forSDA and, then, as appropriate, defining the project scope
engineering habits of mind,and comparisons between science, math, and engineering. Yet both workshops could not beidentical, due to the unique needs of each audience.The paper includes a description of the content of both workshops, observations of theparticipants as they engaged in engineering design challenges, and evaluation results of eachworkshop. Also included is a discussion of the realities of providing professional development asthe K-12 outreach and engagement team at The Engineering Place @ NC State UniversityCollege of Engineering versus the theoretical optimum approach and how to deal with theconstraints of working with fund- and time-limited groups of professionals.IntroductionOur mission at The Engineering Place, a K-12 Engineering

], [20]. With this background in mind, this study analyzedhow graduate-level engineering students used metaphor to write for both a specialist and a non-specialist audience. The main research questions were: 1. How do students use metaphor in their journal articles and in their scientific magazine articles? 2. What are the similarities and differences in metaphor use across the two genres?2. Methodology2.1 ParticipantsThe 14 students in this study were taking an interdisciplinary, semester-long, graduate-levelwriting and communication course in an engineering school. The most common major wasChemical and Biomolecular Engineering (8 students) followed by Mechanical Engineering (2students). The remaining four students were studying Earth
