Itmay be argued that the qualitative nature of autoethnography runs counter to the more dominantquantitative epistemology in engineering. However, the socio-cultural insights it elicits can beboth insightful and instructive when seeking to understand and support change in the engineeringeducation system because systems change is, at

Overall, this casestudy investigates nuclear engineering for its curricula-embedded epistemological foundationsand offers reflections on the relevance of beliefs about knowledge to engineering problemsolving.2 Introduction The term “engineering”, linked in origin to both “ingenious” and “engine”, describes aprofession linked to the virtues of originality and innovation as well as the artifacts and processesdeveloped to enhance human flourishing. We take these elements (production of tools, originalinnovation, and the commitment to human welfare) to be foundational (though incomplete) dueto their ubiquity and use this as a starting point for our analysis [1], [2

this mindset is often dampened or diluted by otherengineering mindsets and ideologies [1]. This reason points to why student agency as a form ofresistance against and liberation from the hegemony of dominant ideologies and social structuresis so commonly invoked [15]. Building off bell hooks [15] work, Secules and colleagues [13]identified a form of student agency that emerges from theorizing narratives about one’sexperiences encountering dominant mindsets and ideologies [1-2, 5] of an engineering program.They explored the experience of a student from a historically marginalized underrepresentedgroup in engineering and found that “constructing and reflecting on narratives about [student]experiences and relating them to cultural narratives

Making use of library resources thus has benefits tomany students beyond providing a no-cost IM source.There were two notable absences in the responses related to information sources for IMselection. No respondents mentioned using book reviews, in spite of this recommendation madein at least one STEM instructional guidebook [2]. Also, none of our respondents indicated thatlibrarians were a resource for selecting IM. This may reflect a belief that librarians do notprovide support or have expertise in this type of information search and evaluation. However,there are many efforts and studies in library and information science about supporting thecreation and use of OER [8], [23] and OA materials [24]. Several of our

Emily reflected on this, stating, “So if you were to describeyourself as an interdisciplinary scholar, then you would be comfortable working with otherdisciplines”.

transitions in thiscollaborative autoethnography work.3. MethodsAutoethnography (AE) can be described as a study of the self, where the self acts as a window tothe world, society, or culture. AE, where the researcher acts as both participant and researcher,oftentimes gets critiqued for being self-absorbing and mere naval-gazing. To overcome thelimitation of AE, in Collaborative Autoethnography (CAE), a team of researchers workscollectively to collect, analyze, and interpret data to “gain a meaningful understanding ofsociocultural phenomena reflected in their autobiographical data” [11, p. 24]. By allowing eachresearcher to share their narrative in a way that resonates with others, collaborativeautoethnography is regarded as a transformative process

The formal analysis of curricular design patterns can be accomplished using aframework called Curricular Analytics [10]. The adoption of Curricular Analytics reflects aparadigm shift toward a data-driven approach to analyzing curricula and degree requirements.This method quantitatively assesses the "complexity" inherent in a plan of study; at its core,Curricular Analytics captures and models the intricate web of pre- and corequisite
