givenapproximately three assignments throughout the semester that required them to sketchorthographic projections and isometric views of objects. These assignments were designed tohelp improve spatial visualization ability. However, the class was generally focused on 3Dmodeling skills and SolidWorks operation, and not on spatial visualization ability.A survey was also administered to assess self-efficacy and to ask the students about how helpfulthey found the different learning activities in the course. We measured self-efficacy regarding 3Dgraphics topics using the three-dimensional modeling self-efficacy scale described by Densenand Kelly [21]. We will refer to this scale as the 3DM-SES in this paper. Agreement on eachitem of the nine items of this survey

, particularly at the post-secondary level?If Dewey [21] is correct in asserting that all experience becomes through continuity andinteraction, then education must tend to these elements. How do educators choose strategically tobuild upon student experiences over time? How do educators assemble the right environment,comprising subjects and objects that, through interaction, lead to the greatest positive growth?Here, I am most interested in the second question. In agreement with Dewey, the significance ofthe experience is going to depend upon how well students are grounded in a shared “socialenterprise.” This is not the kind of enterprise that one should associate with business orentrepreneurialism. It is, rather, enterprise as a complex project or

purpose of this theory paper is to show engineering education researchers how they cancreatively leverage mixed methods in their research such that they can achieve moremethodologically comprehensive integration and transparency. This paper will be of interest toboth newcomers and veterans of using mixed methods research designs. In addition to presentingexemplars within mixed methods research designs, we offer additional strategies for researcherswho find it challenging to integrate mixed methods beyond the data collection and drawinginferences stages of a project. BackgroundMany methodologists have described mixed methods with slight variations in their formulations[9]. At its most fundamental
