Participants also described how university policies, such as partnership degreeprograms or inconvenient course times and modalities might compliment or conflict withemployer policies and further shape an employee’s decision to earn a PhD. These findings offersome initial insight into the employer-level factors that could inform returners’ thinking thatreturners, employers, and universities may want to consider in future decision making.

learning ingeneral is two-fold: first, students with experience in industry have an exposure to application onwhich to build understanding of theory. A few students regarded the study of theory to be anecessary evil, not useful in terms of immediate educational value: DP19: “My work experience has contributed to only two (2) courses so far. Typically, material related to theory does not contribute directly to my work at my job.” R18: “It is helpful to see how the theory works with the practical application, but at time[s] the theory is just that. Work has helped me focus on the need.”However, the students who were able to find the why had a better understanding of the materialas well as applications of it. Direct pathway

No sooner has a client or professor defined a series of objectives for adesign project than the designer- whether in a consulting office or in a classroom- want to findout what the customer really wants. Questions such as: what is an economic project? How doyou define the best design? What is a safe design? What are the factor(s) that will affect thedesign the most?

While locus of control has been studied extensively since the 1980’s, there is no generalconsensus as to the correlation between the locus of control and ethical decision-making. Studieshave shown no correlation between the two constructs, while others have reported that aninternal locus of control is positively correlated to ethical decision-making [10],[14]. An internallocus of control means that the individual feels they are in control of a given behavior [16].While not indicative of ethical behavior, the perception of being in control when faced with anethical dilemma may positively correlate to ethical decision-making and ethical awareness.

A key step in the implementation is training40. Instructions to graders must be clear,instructions to TAs may require practice or guided real-time instruction. Depending on thechange, the TAs may need additional technical training, like running MATLAB or moderatinga discussion board.A key aspect of any team is cohesion. The teaching team must “buy in” to the changes. At aminimum this reduces the risk that TAs will revert back to “easier” or more familiar methods.At worst, the teaching assistants can revolt.
