However, in our approach to graphical analysis studentsessentially derive the constant acceleration equations each time they solve a problem. A simpleone-dimensional word problem will illustrate the thought process that our students learn tofollow when solving all kinematics problems. A car is moving at 25 m/s when the rider applies the brakes, giving the car a constant deceleration. During braking the car travels 80 meters while reducing its speed to 15 m/s. Find the acceleration of the car and the time required for braking.The solution to this problem is illustrated in Figure 5. Of particular importance to this solutionprocedure

the work of Flanagan et al.'s [5] work-in-progresspaper that examined how adding empathy into first-year engineering curriculum changedstudents’ perspectives on the role of an engineer. Engineering design revolves fundamentallyaround meeting user needs and to offer solutions that meet diverse needs, engineers need tocultivate an understanding of various perspectives. Empathy plays a crucial role in enablingengineers to consider the implications of their design decisions on people thoroughly, andemploying empathy can effectively address sociocultural and political aspects of designs. Thisnecessitates its inclusion in engineering classrooms. Flanagan et al. found that through theincorporation of empathy into the curriculum, students begin to

Second, having multiplemarginalized identities can lead to a domino effect such that “the consequences of one burdenthat interacts with pre-existing vulnerabilities create[s] yet another dimension ofdisempowerment” [56, p. 1241].

Thus, even seemingly simple constructs like“persistence” or “retention” for engineering women requires careful thought match data tointended research questions.Another troublesome issue of definition is what population of women to study. Some researchhas been focused exclusively on engineering, but much research is generalized to STEM(science, technology, engineering, and math), or just SET (science, engineering, and technology),S&E (science and engineering), or Tech (technology or high-technology).

method is structural analysis, where a researcher observes anarrative by identifying the outline, or structure, of how it's told. Structural analysis involvespiecing together the plot of the story without making inferences that may shift the storyteller'swords. The third method, constructed narrative analysis, closely relates to Polkinghorne's [20]narrative analysis technique, where specific events are synthesized to form one main narrative.This form of analysis may involve direct quotes from the participant(s), inviting the reader tomake their own inferences.Kellam et. al [13] points out the trade-offs with using each type of analysis method, as each typemay be beneficial for answering different questions.

Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS)gyroscopes are motion sensors that detect and measure the angular motion of an object [28]. Theycompared the angular rate sensitivity results of the designed gyroscope with a reference device,indicating an angular rate sensitivity of fewer than 1°/s, equivalent to that of the natural VS.

In addition, this framework for engineering graduate student identity development has thepotential to increase understanding of doctoral students’ experiences, particularly those ofhistorically marginalized graduate students, and how institutions may better support the identitydevelopment of all students. Furthering understanding of identity development in graduateschool supports the development of a more representative engineering workforce throughincreased understanding of the identity experiences of engineering doctoral students.

The work takes a grounded theory approach to unpacking the entrepreneurial behaviortermed ‘intuitive’ by Knight13 in 1921. The intuition that Knight names, and which Sarasvathyexplains, describes the behavior of individuals when faced with highly uncertain situations whereit is impossible to make meaningful calculations of risk 13. Sarasvathy proposed that expertentrepreneurs
