occurred in spring andfall of 2022. During these conversations, administrators were asked to reflect on theimplementation of the e4usa program at their school, their personal experiences with thisprocess, and barriers or suggestions in expanding this program both locally and more broadly.The transcripts of these interviews and focus groups were analyzed using descriptive coding [1]by two researchers. During this process the codes were categorized and then emergent themeswere identified. The findings indicate that administrators have a range of personal experiencewith implementing this engineering program, and that often these experiences were reported as abenefit to the entire school. For instance, administrators often referred to connections made

Thediscrepancies stated above may be attributed to the smaller sample size in the second study and will beinvestigated further in subsequent work. It should also be noted that an interview protocol was developedand interviews conducted with low-income students as part of [18]. Preliminary analysis of theseinterviews revealed that different majors at Stevens provide different metacognitive opportunities forstudents within that particular program. Particular reference was made to programming and designactivities that inherently required self-reflection at various points in

And would this be a job that youwould actually want? The assignment culminated with short (less than 10 minute), in classpresentations where other groups were able to ask questions.

Semi-structured interviews were carried out independently in person or viaonline meetings, which ranged in length from 60 to 120 minutes. We began the interview byproviding ample time for developing rapport with each participant and then gradually shiftedthe conversation to asking questions about their background and identity meaning-making.Identity meaning-making referred to questions that ask participants to be reflective abouttheir multiple roles (e.g., teacher, researcher, and family role) around their rights and duties,which was fundamental to the

As Black and Gregersen(2002) noted, the first step toward implementing organizational change is to be able to see a needfor change. When we initiated our KCURE program in 2020, we didn’t see a need for change.This study provided us time to pause and reflect on what we did not earlier see.

(2021) introduced the concept of person-centered approaches to the engineeringeducation community, which originated in the context of longitudinal analyses. A person-centered approach recognizes heterogeneity and attempts to identify latent groupings amongindividuals in the sample based on the relationships among variables which reflect thecharacteristics of individuals and their environment. In contrast, a variable-centered approach isfocused on prediction and relationships between variables (Laursen & Hoff, 2006). Althoughperson-centered approaches may use data-driven methods to fulfill these tasks, not all data-driven methods can be used in a person-centered fashion without more critical thought (Godwinet al., 2021).

The interview protocol and other applicable parts of our study design wereapproved by our institution’s human subjects review process.Two mock interviews were performed to evaluate the clarity (or ambiguity) of the questions andthe total time required to perform the interview.
