Education Research (EER)AbstractThis paper reports on a project funded through the Engineering Education and Centers (EEC)Division of the National Science Foundation. The project is aimed towards buildingunderstanding in the engineering education research (EER) community about the potential valueof secondary data analysis (SDA) as well as developing guidelines for using this researchapproach. Changing the paradigm of single-use data collection will require actionable, provenpractices for effective, ethical data sharing, coupled with sufficient incentives to both share anduse existing data. To that end, this project drew together a team of experts and emergingresearchers to develop a shared understanding of SDA, and to conduct two intentional

The history of practice in many engineering disciplines is,in large part, the story of failures, both imminent and actual, and ensuing changes to designs,standards and procedures made as the result of timely interventions or forensic analyses. Inaddition to technical issues, professional and ethical responsibilities are highlighted by therelevant cases. Student learning was assessed through surveys and focus group discussions.Students were asked specifically about the technical lessons learned, as well as their response tothe case studies.

While social loafing is an outcomefocused phenomenon, the sucker effect focuses on the above mechanism. Hence, it is measuredusing an instrumental factor, an ethical factor and an equity factor. These factors wereconstructed based on the Australian Work Ethic Scale [23] and the Protestant Work Ethic Scale[24].Social Compensation - Social compensation can be described as the tendency of individuals,especially those with low interpersonal trust, to work harder in a team environment in order tocompensate for the lower performing teammates [25].
