With this broader theme in mind, two more specific objectivesare the primary foci of this paper: • Objective 1: What do the reflection data and follow-up interviews make visible about engineering practice, including in terms of boundary spanning? • Objective 2: How do participants respond differently in the reflections and interviews, and how is this potentially related to personality or other individual characteristics?In support of these objectives we first consider the challenges of studying engineering practiceand how others have conducted such research. Second, we report on the types of reflectionprompts we developed, justification for their use

With this growing community practice of storytelling(Adams et. al, 2007), we seek to articulate our own pathway story into the engineering educationresearch enterprise, so we may engage others in our work, inspire future doctoral students, andprepare ourselves for future research and teaching practice.We adopted a theoretical and action-oriented approach to build our understanding of “our story”and to use inquiry sessions as an outlet for

studying these curricula, we noticed that studentscan be “hands on but not minds on”, in the process of solving the tasks. In particular, GuidedContent and Guided Practice tasks are lacking in the assessments. This implies that in realitystudents have limited opportunities to reflect or make inferences, given these items. In order tosolve problems in the context of applying engineering design in the science classroom, thestudents will need to have the opportunities to use the guided information to solve the problems,rather than being asked to simply record the observations or perform calculations. The intersection of TAGS and POD clearly demonstrated a lack of higher-level cognitivedemands in several important areas. For example, Evaluate
