. Survey responses were first descriptively coded, guided bythe research question. Throughout the coding process, themes were the unit of analysis.Subsections of text within an individual response were deemed to contain essential thought, andthen coded accordingly. This process is in line with utterance coding within verbal qualitativeanalysis [30]. All coding was performed by two researchers, and the researchers reached 100%consensus after discussion in inter-rater reliability (IRR). Focused codes were developed [31], [32] to further interpret Incubator participantunderstandings of teaching and learning. In developing our codes, we asked a more specificquestion: How are BME students’ articulations of teaching and learning reflecting

participants were male, reflecting the demographics of the schoolat the time of the formal meetings.Samples of this size are commonly accepted in qualitative studies investigating social andexperiential phenomena. This size also seems appropriate because we were able to engage almosteveryone who shared the experiences in question. Even in cases where the target population islarger, scholars of qualitative and phenomenological research recommend limiting the sample size.This is done to allow the researcher to delve deeply into the phenomenon and the data. For instance,Dukes (1984) recommended a sample size of 3-10 for phenomenology (cited in Creswell, 2007).A literature review by Guest, Bunce, and Johnson (2006) identified recommendations

Reflections prompts were not focused on the canvas (e.g.“Explain a struggle you have had during the design process to this point and describe the variousways you overcame that struggle. What might you abstract that you can use in other designexperiences?”). Lastly, a faculty assessment focus group met on May 21, 2015 and consideredtwo prompts: 1) “I like…” and 2) “I wish…” regarding the course as a whole.As mentioned previously and important to our assessment, Crismond and Adams (2012) proposethat students

” Mechanical EngineeringResearch quality was considered throughout the data collection and analysis process, based onthe Qualifying Qualitative Research Quality (Q3) framework by Walther, Sochacka, and Kellam[17]. The belongingness responses from each student were coded using in vivo codes [18]. Invivo codes brought richness to the analysis and reflected the exact words used by the students[17]. Multiple coding and theming passes, as well as a constant comparative method, were usedacross interviews to tightly link the themes to the data [19]. Authors had ongoing conversationsabout emergent results and addressed borderline cases. Memos were kept throughout theanalytical process to document and make apparent the researchers’ perspectives.The qualitative

We approached ourcollaboration by employing an apprenticeship model to inform student training and experience.This model draws on experiential approaches to teaching and learning. Kolb [4] defined learningas “the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience” andadvanced four key phases in this cycle of learning: concrete experience, reflective observation,abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation [5]. Cognitive apprenticeship models aimto “enculturate [learners] into authentic practices through activity and social interaction” [9].Brandt, Farmer and Buckmaster [7] offer an apprenticeship model that includes modeling,approximating, fading, self-directed learning, and

This last topic was addressed by a series of elements notdirectly asking about HPL, but framed to reveal this. For example, to understand whether thecourse was assessment-centered we asked their level of agreement with the statements, “Ireceived adequate feedback on my work,” and “I was able to obtain enough practice onimportant topics.”Another part of the quantitative study was gauging to what extent the teaching reflects HPL.

In several implementations, students have also completed some preparatory workin advance, and reflections on their experience afterwards.

In fact, at fourteeninstitutions where multiple chemical engineering faculty indicated the settings where theybelieved undergraduate students in their program learned about ESI, there were only twoinstitutions where there was complete agreement on the course types where ESI educationoccurred. Thus, individuals may have differing levels of knowledge on how students in theirprograms are educated on ESI. This may reflect a lack of coordination within programs onteaching ESI.

The first two yearsof the capstone design program have been inarguably successful, and in this paper we identifyand reflect on the keys to our success. The intention for writing this paper is to ensure thesuccess of the program is repeatable, and to assist other programs, especially those residing insmall liberal arts universities, in starting or revising their own senior design experience.Our key factors in assembling a successful industry-sponsored capstone design program havebeen: (1) faculty buy-in and involvement, (2) engaged industry

Also, engineering design situations often involve multiple, conflicting views andstandpoints, which requires engineers to consider various contexts including both technical andnon-technical issues in structuring and representing a design problem for the situation. Jonassenet al.

In terms of the non-technical goals and constraints, they state that engineeringdesign
