, Focus Group* *Phase 2 To test how student learning is impacted by the OWLS, the qualitative pretest andposttest survey questions focus on students’ perceived learning. Surveys are commonly used inqualitative research within engineering education to assess participants through the use of openended questions52. The open ended questions seek to gain a greater insight into what componentsor features of the OWLS helped the students to learn most effectively, or which componentswere not effective in the minds of the students. For example, a question asks, “Was the OWLS avaluable tool for learning in this course? If so, how?” This question and others seek to explainthe reasons behind the trends that are observed in the

In order to grow the program andincorporate more students, assistance is required to mentor these students and to help managetheir projects. Clearly, a Ph.D. student that is interested in this type of position at anundergraduate engineering college would be a great candidate.With this idea in mind, the author recently worked with Virginia Tech to develop a collaborativeprogram whereby alumni from VMI will attend graduate school at Virginia Tech, but conducttheir research projects with author, supervised and externally-funded by the author.

By social context, wemean, for this study, the gendered and racialized contexts in environmental work. In fact, wewould expect these contexts to come into play even in the selection of their major—climateeffects, public environmental discourse, and environmental policy all have gendered and racialsocial components that frame students’ matriculation into the major as much as their journeysthrough and beyond it.

Examples are provided below. words for engineers: “Your work is more than plans and specifications. Your work is more than creating a design for a client. Your work impacts people, communities, and the landscape. You have a responsibility to be aware of the negative impacts of the work you engage in.” A reminder to keep community in mind in every step of the process…. One element from Chief Albert’s presentation that I personally found most impactful was the list of his Tribe’s values.
