that when given theopportunity to choose their own paths through the course, students do indeed take advantage ofthis opportunity. Specifically, we observe multiple pathways through the course via theExploration and Engagement Modules, explained below. Student survey responses andself-reflection within the Personal Action Plan assignment further suggest that students deepenedtheir self-understanding through the course. Ultimately, this research suggests that incorporatingchoice in first-year engineering courses may be a useful alternative to a “one size fits all”approach, given that the former allows students to explore their different interests and goals withrespect to engineering.MotivationAs part of the Foundational Course Initiative, a

In other words, while the students focuson the research topics for their dissertation, data on their reflections through narrative enquiry arecollected.

Technologies and technological artifacts have an influence upon the lived experience ofthose who employ them and upon the lived experience of those upon whom the artifacts are used.According to Rosenberger all postphenomenological studies share three main components:understanding the roles of technologies in the human technology-world experience, usingexperimental cases to reflect this experience, and the construction of an analysis of the co-shapingor co-constitution of human and technology to create the human-technology connection.”[25] Thecase based method developed here employs the postphenomenological framework and style ofanalysis to bring

Students frequently describedsolution requirements as constraints (38%) though in many instances these might be moreappropriately framed as objectives that do not necessarily constrain the solution. Thedevelopment of engineering requirements represents an important transition point in problemframing that moves the problem from a qualitative representation (e.g. needs statements,operating principles) to a quantitative one (i.e. metrics and values that reflect performanceobjectives and constraints). Students who overall lack of experience with ill-structured problems,and design problems specifically, have limited experience with this qualitative to quantitativetransition that is common in practice.

Students took this survey twice, once atthe start of the quarter (pre) and once at the end of the quarter (post). The survey was takenverbatim from Kier et al.

descriptionsof their circuits. For the microwave and RF engineer, however, these open and short circuitmeasurements are problematic because as one goes higher in frequency, reliable opens and shortsare difficult to implement because of the electromagnetics involved. For this reason, scattering orS-parameters are instead used, where the measurements look at incident and reflected energyfrom the networks in the presence of matched terminations rather than total voltages andcurrents. The measurement of S-parameters is frequently done using an S-parameter multiportanalyzer, with two-port analyzers being the most frequently found since many circuits such asfilters and amplifiers are two-port networks. These S-parameters can be measured as a functionof
