Setting for the Curriculum ProjectThe specific setting for this curriculum project is outlined as follow:1. Salient characteristics of the institution or sponsoring organizationAs described by Anand (2005), " Engineering Mechanics - Statics is a core course in most of theengineering disciplines, and is generally taught by a civil and/or a mechanical engineeringfaculty at the nations' ABET accredited colleges and universities" (p.1). The institutional settingfor this course is also considered an ABET accredited engineering college that offersundergraduate degree programs for civil engineering and/or mechanical engineering students.This course is not

sets rather than collecting new ones, if these datasets are adequate to answer the research questions being asked.” (p. 351). Economical refers totime and resources that researchers save. Ethical refers to respecting the time and resources ofothers required in collecting large data sets. The former point is particularly relevant to graduatestudents, as they are typically more constrained by both time and resources in their researchagendas.BackgroundHere we present how three researchers used one large data set (that included both qualitative andquantitative data) to meet their own qualitative research needs. First, we describe the originalresearch project associated with this data set, as well as the breadth of data within the data set.The

Ourprimary aim is to help students navigate through the process of creating a space similar to ours,emphasizing resources (people, financial, and otherwise) needed. Our secondary aim is toprovide faculty with student perspective on the creation of a makerspace, including the type ofguidance needed (and not needed) from a collaboration between students and faculty.Team-Building (Empathize)It cannot be emphasized enough the importance of a diverse team of both faculty and studentswhen working on a student-centered project like this one.

Kimmy is part of aliving and learning program designed to provide support for incoming freshmen girls inengineering. Kimmy seems to work hard, but suggests that her grades are not as high as shewould hope them to be. In addition to focusing on her classes, Kimmy also seems to be interested in participating in non-engineering related social extracurricular activities.

phenomenon. One researcheradequately summarized the need to increase female enrollment in engineering into three themes:social, economic, and practical. The social impact of increasing female enrollment is to correctthe historical imbalance created by society historically disallowing women into “masculine”fields. Economically, the United States would benefit from increasing the number of females inengineering because the current system is matriculating fewer engineers than the workforcedemands, which is resulting in the outsourcing of engineering projects to foreign countries.Lastly, it would be practical to increase the number of female engineers in order to increasediversity which has been found to an increase of innovation (Su, 2010).Engineering
