Third, we consider what the reflectionsmade visible (and not), including a high-level overview of findings related to boundary spanningand other emergent themes. Fourth, we describe differences observed in comparing the twoparticipants’ responses to one another, and also in comparing the reflection and interview data.We conclude by discussing implications and directions for future research, including further dataanalysis efforts and plans for integrating the reflection and interview data. We expect that thispaper will primarily appeal to engineering education researchers seeking innovative methods forstudying practice in the engineering workplace

communication, systems thinking, design, teamwork,and project planning [3]. The traditional emphasis on developing students with theoretical andanalytical skills, and the heavy load of engineering science and mathematics courses during thefirst two years of college leads many students to concentrate more on academic performanceand not realize the importance of developing professional skills.Over the past 30 years, there have been notable curriculum shifts in engineering education tomeet the needs of industry and the standards of ABET Accreditation. According to generalcriterion #5, “students are prepared to enter the practice of engineering through a curriculumthat includes a culminating major design experience” [4].

This is a high pressure deadline where students are tasked with demonstrating a fully functioning robot that can score a designated small number of points. Students that fail to reach this objective, create a plan with their section tutor. Partial credit is possible if the robot can score points within a week after the deadline. This partial credit grade is used as one the metrics used in this study to identify teams that are struggling with design challenges. ● Oral Presentation in Week 10. Each team gives an oral presentation of their robot, use of theory and project management in the design process. ● In Section Robot

often preface his response witha winking admonishment, “that’s way beyond the scope of the class!,” he nevertheless foundhimself spending significant portions of class time answering such questions thoroughly.Given the nature of the questions (as beyond the scope of the class) only a small portion of theclass understood the content of these questions and answers. Thus this question and answersession functioned as projection of ability: students noticed who had the ability to play the gamein asking this sort of question. Instead, for the programming beginners like Becca, it was aperiod of confusion and a reminder of just how far behind they were.This lecture discourse pattern also meant less class time for the planned basic content, an
organizational change at a research university with respect to a campus-based STEM improvement initiative? 4Towards constructing a robust research model to study our campus intervention, we conducted a targetedliterature review concerning organizational change research from a variety of theoretical frameworkspublished since the 1980s. These decades produced significant research. We were particularly interestedin documenting change in response to planned interventions, change to both to organizations and thepractitioners working in these organizations.Literature Review: Building The Case For Our Research ModelAs noted above, we argue that

Contentious issuesincluded what students thought of the midterm and final exams in these courses, what studentsbelieved to constitute cheating on homework, how students used diverse resources to assist incompletion of homework and course assignments, what unofficial activities students did duringlecture periods, and general student opinions of and reflections on their mathematics experiences.Additional data collection in the third semester included gathering historical artifacts related tothe engineering mathematics curriculum and specifically Calc 3 and Diff Eq. Trips to multiplelibrary archives to collect historical course catalogs, building maps and floor plans, architecturaldrawings, and administrative documentation all helped to shed light on
notlegitimized by the institution. Driven by worries that he will “get kicked out of theengineering school,” Peter designed and patented a “high-end upgrade for 3-D printers,”which he is currently selling online. This involved not only the design and production ofthe device itself, but also the assembly of heterogeneous elements into a viable business,including business plans, financial backers, patent lawyers and governmentalinfrastructure. We don’t yet know whether Peter will eventually receive an engineeringdegree; we do know that he is actively seeking other forms of legitimacy that might notrequire one.MaryMary is a white female student.

school board was impressed. ‘Oh, that foundation in New York thinks we should do something different, so let’s do it.’… They listened to us because we were from the outside… The Sloan Foundation had leverage.”Pierre did go on to stress, however, that the reputation and leverage needed to be coupled withsound planning: “It’s not just the name [of the foundation]. You had to design the school with theright curriculum. You had to place it…within an existing high school that had a principal whoreally supported it and solved every problem they had.”DiscussionThe engineering education pioneers described many different ways in which they helpedfacilitate others’ success.

In our study, we deploy insights from organizational behavior to offer a morenuanced understanding of change processes, such as the organizational inertia that both limit andchannel institutional responses. To begin with an example outside of ABET—but of anorganization that played a key role in coordinating ABET’s stakeholders—the early responses ofthe National Science Foundation are indicative of this particular phenomenon. Faced with thepurported successes of Japanese industrial policy and planning, NSF, along with other federalagencies, shifted towards more targeted funding strategies [22]. The

educational development of the undergraduate is the degree to whichthe student is actively engaged or involved in the undergraduate experience. His researchfindings suggested that curricular planning efforts will reap much greater payoffs in terms ofstudents' outcomes if we focus less on formal structure and content and put much more emphasison process, pedagogy, and other features of the delivery system, as well as on the broaderinterpersonal and institutional environment and culture in which learning takes place.Richard Light reached similar conclusions in his intensive interviews with a randomly selectedsample of Harvard undergraduates (interviewed during their first and last year).6 He wrote in thepreface to the Harvard Assessment Seminars

engineering education at31 four-year U.S. institutions. A disproportional, stratified random sampling plan was used toproduce a nationally representative sample of four-year engineering programs that offer two ormore ABET-accredited programs in six engineering disciplines (biomedical/bioengineering,chemical, civil, electrical, industrial, and mechanical). Because the P2P study was also designedto inform analyses of a closely related set of six case studies (one of which offered only abaccalaureate-level general engineering program), the sample was also refined to include threeinstitutions that offered a general engineering program in addition to their discipline-basedprograms.
