Page 26.1149.2difficulties, the process of analyzing ethnographic data is often one of the most difficult steps forresearchers to navigate during the research process. Much of this confusion comes from attemptsto demonstrate an understanding of what was actually observed.In their seminal book, “Writing Ethnographic Fieldnotes,” Emerson, Fretz, and Shaw2 discusstechniques for writing effective fieldnotes in a variety of observational settings. They state thatfieldnotes can often be written from multiple perspectives. Using a first-person point of view,researchers are able to describe specifically what they observe or experience during the datacollection process. This is particularly useful when the researcher is a member of the group s/heis

generation of concept 7, the drying rack, he emphasized the constraints of"inexpensive and portable." He also indicated flexibility in the way he interpreted the problemstatement: The problem indicated the need to design a food cooker, but he recognized the deeperproblem was that users' goals were to eat. Thus, he expanded from a strict definition of“cooking” to include designs for warming and drying other foods.Case Study 2: Engineer 2. Six diverse concepts were identified in Engineer 2's work. His firstconcept was a magnifying glass aimed at a metal pot with a cover. “Basically we’re going tomagnify the sunlight, if it were frying ants. Hopefully that will fry the water and people will behappy.” His second concept was a black pot with the driving

Demographicvariables (gender and major) served as covariates or the multiple causes individually to Page 12.400.6investigate latent mean differences and potential sources of item bias. The analyses in thisstudy were conducted in two major steps. First, CFAs were conducted to fit the one-factor theoretical models to the data. Parameters were estimated and several fit indiceswere used to examine the fit of the models: Satorra-Bentler’s (S-B) chi-square statistic(χ2) 14 , ratio of chi-square to degrees of freedom (χ2/df), Root
program, 40% of the population is comprised of women, a stark contrast to thesmall percentage of women represented in more traditional engineering programs. We felt thatinterviewing a proportionally larger number of women in a context different than traditionalengineering programs might provide insight into their construction, understanding, and valuingof knowledge(s). We acknowledge that this might risk having the male student having tokenrepresentation, and a follow-up study and analysis plans to address this gender imbalance.Data Collection: Participants were recruited from the AME capstone course and were chosenbecause the course is only taken by students approaching graduation; we felt that these studentshad ample experience with the program

Inquiry-based learning activities were designedusing variation theory4 to challenge students’ conceptual understanding of rate and accumulationprocesses across multiple contexts. Activities include the use of toy bricks to construct rate andaccumulation graphs. These activities will be tested in a required sophomore civil andenvironmental engineering course. The success of these activities will be measured usingformative assessments and pre-post course RACI scores. An observation protocol will also beused to assess students’ responses to the class activities5.References1. Flynn, C.D., Davidson, C.I., Dotger, S., 2014.

Research We reviewed a total of 13 studies for the second component of our critical analysis.First, we reviewed classic retention studies by Astin 4,29 and Tinto 30, which have been frequentlycited as germinal research linking the construct of social engagement to college student retentionand/or academic success. Nora et al.’s study6 was reviewed as an example of more recentempirical investigations using an extensive national dataset. Next, we analyzed 10 empiricalstudies that examined relationships between peer-oriented social engagement and measures ofcollege student adjustment/persistence (e.g., retention, GPA, other persistence measures) inengineering education. We specified four criteria for the inclusion of a study in our review: a
