And IS fulfills an organizationalneed, but mostly from the management side.Of the five computing disciplines, computer engineering is the least closely related to IT. SE issmall in size nationwide and BYU doesn’t even have an SE program. For these reasons, this studyfocused on CS, IS, and IT.1.1 Research questions • How strong is the correlation between AC−CE and AE−RO, and major GPA among CS, IS, and IT students? • How strong is the correlation between AC−CE and AE−RO, and student satisfaction among CS, IS, and IT students? • Is there a correlation between major GPA and student satisfaction? • What is the best multiple regression model to fit these correlations?1.2

between cognition and student outcomes. The study represents an extensive search of 27,464 published studies from 10 library holdings and 10 Journals in engineering education. Twenty studies, meeting study criteria, were coded for 39 variables in six categories. Studies were assigned to one of two groups based on the statistical evidence that was reported. Group I reported p-values only and Group II reported F, t, or chi square values. Significance of Group I studies is shown through a summary chi square and p value. A summary weighted unbiased effect size was determined for Group II studies. With only 0.07% of studies meeting search criteria, it was determined that there is a limited amount

questions explicitly referred to “mathematical models,”indicates that modeling of the type that practicing or professional engineers use is nuanced andcomplex, and is disconnected from how students approach solving problems. We did see a smallincrease in the number of students proposing a mathematical approach to their scenario on thesecond iteration. This may indicate that a guided approach to the use of models in design wouldbe beneficial to novice modelers, although our Iteration 2 still did not provide enough of thattype of guidance. It is not too surprising that students would need help with this, since, ingeneral, an engineering curriculum tends to teach the disciplinary fundamentals in an abstractway, with routine and well-posed problems

colonialbackdrop.This brief overview of the literature illustrates the potential limitations of traditional approachesto research ethics when applied to qualitative research, a challenge that is crucially important forthe growing discourse around the use of interpretive methods in engineering education. Theanalysis of prior work in the areas of feminist and de-colonizing methodologies points to theinherent link between considering ethics as an integral part of research and the holistic quality ofresearch findings. In the following we build on this discussion to explore a practice-based way ofintegrating ethical considerations into the research process as part of a larger, cohesiveconsideration of research quality.Theoretical frameworkThe Quality Framework that

For example, projects related to laboratory, computer, technology, software,design, and equipment are more likely to be conducted by scholars with fewer collaborators.

This poses an alternate view of quantifying what research has beendone and what areas need more attention. Furthermore, this supports the theory that K-12 EngER ismoving towards implementation of curriculum because learning systems (10%), educator‘spractice/curriculum (15%), and diversity and inclusiveness (11%) have had the least amount of research.For this reason, it can be expected that in order for progress to be made more research in theaforementioned areas will increase in the next decade. .
