the students to analyze their design, make readjustments, or redesign. The NID unitexplicitly builds in a redesign to ensure students experience an iterative engineering design cycle.During the implementation phase of their design, students were asked to consider the followingwhile redesigning their prototype designs: (1) potentially change materials to bring down the costof their design, and (2) redesign their prototype to collect more water. In addition, they wereasked to keep in mind that they have to use something from nature to inspire their design.Students can be observed testing their storage tank and going back to evaluate the design at theirtables to make corrections and retest.After testing their designs, students were asked to fill

Even though neither of her parents graduated from college, it was never a doubt in her orher brother’s mind that they would since her parents had insisted as such since they were verysmall.For Julie, the appeal of engineering was that it would provide a good job and an opportunity tohelp other people. Both she and her brother ended up at Mines after an engineer at her father’sworkplace told them that it was the best engineering school. After graduating with a degree inmechanical engineering, she had multiple interviews in varying industries but took a job at anengineering firm that was expanding the public lightrail
application of individual research methods [5; 17].With these characteristics of the field of engineering education research in mind, the goal at theoutset of this project was to build on an initial theoretical understanding of research quality withthe view to developing a quality framework that reflects the practices of engineering educationresearchers. This goal was to be achieved through two streams (see below) of integrated datagathering and educational workshops and the qualitative analysis of the data using iterativecoding methods of constant comparison [19; 20; 21; 22; 23].
