weighted survey sample of roughly two thousand early careerengineering graduates. The research is broadly situated in social cognitive career theory anddraws data from the Pathways of Engineering Alumni Research Survey (PEARS), which was apart of the National Science Foundation (NSF) funded Engineering Pathways Study (EPS).Analyses for this study followed a two-step process. First we categorized the engineeringgraduates into seven occupational groups, and then we compared these seven groups along sixother measures of doing engineering work. Four years after graduation, graduates employed inengineering and computer-related occupations tended to identify themselves, their currentposition, and future plans as engineering-related, while graduates

Forward chaining is most often used byexpert problem solvers who have a deeper understanding of what is required to solve theproblem7. When forward chaining, the problem solver plans what steps to take before starting theproblem so that no unnecessary work is done7.Other strategies not addressed in Nickerson’s framework were considered for our analysis7. Astrategy referred to as unit analysis, dimensional analysis, or proportional analysis commonlyoccurs in engineering and science.

In many ofthese cases, there are models, resources or tools being designed to support teaching and learning.For example, in research about the design of curriculum, Clements describes multiple stages inthe life of the materials from the ideal curriculum to the planned curriculum to the

toendure.The proposed measurement framework of SoTE defines nine different criteria. Each criterioncovers one part of the educational system and also the approach. Accordingly, each criterion hasits own set of key performance measures (KPMs). For every KPM, there is one or more keyperformance indicator (KPI) to enable the measurement. Every KPI has its own analytic rubricthat will aid the calculation of different indicators including a one main indicator called theSustainability Indicator (SI) – See Figure 2. The nine criteria are expanded into 34 KPMs.The sustainability criteria upon which we judge SoTE is shown in Table 1.

The first isplanning for intensive, long-term involvement with the research study10. Little interpretation canbe made from one or two cases, but several observations made over and over again with similarpopulations can lead to trends and potential theories. Second, researchers should plan to collect“rich” data to get a full picture of what is happening in the observations11.
