Page 26.478.5considered in this engineering solution and she listed these ideas on the board. Responsesgathered included: How will vacationers be affected by the smell created by the treatment? 4(People). Where will the effluent go when the pipe is flushed? Will it affect the wildlife?(Planet). Who will do the wok? Unions? (Politics), How much will it cost? (Prosperity)With this framework in mind, the student were then again given the original assignment as agroup and asked to frame the challenges (#1 - #3) with the 4 Ps in mind. This assignment wasalso turned in.3. Do they retain the 4 Ps weeks later after learning the technical

, Focus Group* *Phase 2 To test how student learning is impacted by the OWLS, the qualitative pretest andposttest survey questions focus on students’ perceived learning. Surveys are commonly used inqualitative research within engineering education to assess participants through the use of openended questions52. The open ended questions seek to gain a greater insight into what componentsor features of the OWLS helped the students to learn most effectively, or which componentswere not effective in the minds of the students. For example, a question asks, “Was the OWLS avaluable tool for learning in this course? If so, how?” This question and others seek to explainthe reasons behind the trends that are observed in the
