Berliner[3] concludes that qualitative research is the hard to doscience.Qualitative Research is often about the local rather than the general, and usually involveshuman actions and interactions. Such data is notoriously difficult to plan, collect, analyse,code and present (particularly to an audience who are more comfortable with quantitativedata and studies with large sample sizes). In qualitative research the context is criticalbecause of the myriad of interactions that occur in different applications and cultures.There is also a myriad of qualitative research methodologies that can be employed,including phenomenology, phenomenography, ethnography, case study research

Page 22.1139.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2011 Parents’ Perceptions of and Familiarity with EngineeringIntroductionThere is a growing concern in the engineering community that the interest among youngpeople in engineering is declining. There is a need to strategically plan how a strongerengineering workforce in the United States can be accomplished 1. While some efforts hadbeen made in improving undergraduate education and recruitment, other efforts, like thisstudy, focus on K-12 education and how we can improve students’ understanding ofengineering at early ages. Furthermore, recent studies have provided evidence that learningengineering content, especially engineering design, can

Rather, it affords the opportunity for studentsto experience thinking and solving problems that are industrially situated and are not available incurrent university curricula. Because the experiments are virtual, they are easy and quick forstudents to perform. This aspect affords students unusual depth of thought as they are notconstrained by the haptic elements needed to make measurements but rather are able to plan runsand analyze results in the iterative experimental design process.
