How well this process is conducted is the primary focus of quality in narrative research.Indicators of Quality in Narrative SmoothingRecent work has sought to establish frameworks capable of assessing the quality of qualitativeresearch methods. In line with Walther et al.'s work, we define quality interpretative research asresearch that is "idiographic in nature, in that it emerges from the unique perspective ofindividuals or groups but is transferrable to and meaningful for other contexts" [22]. We findgreat utility in tools such as Walther & Sochacka’s Q3 framework, which provides a versatileguide for implementing quality across various qualitative methods[23] . Tools such as this helpresearchers assess how they produce and manage
confidential.Furthermore, no attempt to oversample women or minorities was made in collecting the sampledata. All results are cross-sectional.InstrumentsThe self-reflection survey contained a total of 41 questions. Questions about learning outcomesrelevant to technical skills were developed based on Davis et al.’s conceptual model for capstoneengineering design performance and assessment and ABET’s student outcomes #3 [1]. Questionsrelating to non-technical outcomes were adapted from scales developed by Chandler et al. to studyentrepreneurs’ competencies [49] and scales developed by Keinänen et al. to measure innovationcompetencies of students in the applied sciences [50].

professional development model as a lens.Participants were nine sixth grade science teachers from three rural and Appalachian schoolsystems who engaged in the first year of the VT-PEERS project. The participants wereinterviewed prior to the first intervention activity, at the end of the first academic year, observedduring interventions, and asked to fill out an online questionnaire to capture their demographicinformation. The interviews lasted approximately 30-minutes. Pertinent questions for thisanalysis were: “What influenced your decision to participate in this project?”; What role(s) doyou expect to have during this collaboration?”; “What role(s) do you expect other partners(Industry or University) to have?”Through open coding (Miles, Huberman

Undergraduate and graduate students across engineering disciplines (e.g.,mechanical, electrical, biomedical, chemical, and materials science) are partnered with healthprofessionals (e.g., physicians, nurses, dentists, therapists, pharmacists) to solve unmet healthchallenges. In the first quarter, teams of 3–5 students work closely with the health professional(s)who originally proposed the unmet health challenge to develop a deep understanding of theunmet health need, including potential markets, stakeholder psychologies, prior solutions,intellectual property considerations, regulatory

offering online sections of courses to students that want the flexibilitythat they facilitate, if their primary concern is student performance. We found no statistically sig-nificant difference in the overall performance of students that elect to take a course online relativeto those that elect to take it in person. Taking courses online may, however, have a substantialnegative impact on a student’s sense of belonging. This effect is particularly pronounced for un-derrepresented minority students and first generation students, but not present in women.References [1] B. Bizot and S.

In each of the examplesthat were given in this paper, the instructor(s) invested no small amount of effort in revising thecourse(s) to suit their designs.
