They create computer code, develop simulations, build prototypes, file patentapplications, and ultimately bring their technology to customers.Our Doctor of Engineering program serves professional engineers. Thus, instead of requiring thatstudents present their work in the form of a book, we allow—indeed encourage—alternativeways to demonstrate their research success. The culmination of DEng studies is a portfoliodefense. Working with their advisors, DEng students assemble a collection of documents andartifacts to be examined and defended.

IRR calculated using these two visual methods with five of the most commonstatistical measures for calculating IRR, finding excellent agreement between our new methodsand existing statistical formulae. This methods development is exemplified using data for ourongoing research, in which we are working to analyze time-resolved engineering writing datarecorded through screen capture technology. The process of developing methods of interraterreliability for our context can also be applied to other researchers who seek to analyze non-traditional data, such as those collected during eye-tracking, screen capture, or observationalstudies.Introduction This research paper presents two novel image-based methods for calculating

The general aim ofthis implementation is to ensure continuity of methods, content, and goals across all courses andto increase the workforce relevance of student learning. Significant curriculum changes includeexpanding course content and duration (e.g., one-semester courses expanding to become year-long), implementing new instructional technologies (e.g., hybrid courses and flipped classrooms),and promoting experiential and team-based learning as a consistent learning outcome for all PDTcourses.

In otherwords, most teams did not propose a particularly novel idea to apply to the engine that they wereconsidering. Considering that the internal combustion engine is a well-established technology,this may not be that surprising. However, if the students were as a group inclined to take onmore challenging projects, there may have been more projects along the lines of #9, where agroup attempted to take a newer technological development and apply it to an older engine.
