In particular, they were asked to determine whether their research questionhad already been answered (and, if so, how conclusively). They were also asked to identify themost relevant reference material from the prior work that is most closely related to their area ofresearch.Once the topic was refined through the literature search, student participants were asked todevelop a project plan, working with their faculty mentor. In most cases, these plans involvedthe development of a software system and its use for data collection to answer a researchquestion. A few relied upon existing systems and presented configuration and data

Network Analysis (ENA)One possible strategy for analyzing the connections between these frame elements is ENA, amethod that uses coded data to find temporal connections between ideas within an individual orcommunity. Each of these codes are represented as a node in the network, and edges betweennodes represent the strength of an individual or community’s connection between those twocodes. For example, epistemic network analysis has been used to investigate how engineeringidentity emerges as students participate in a medical device company simulation [12], howstudents develop an epistemic frame when completing an urban planning simulation [13], andhow engineering values and epistemology emerge as students participate in a four-weekengineering

Even if the previous director desires to impart all that they know, it is possible that thereis knowledge or meta-knowledge that they, themselves, are unaware they possess.Another challenge is the lack of widespread understanding of the state of the art in diversity,equity, inclusion, and belonging from a practitioner standpoint. The community exists in a stateof functional dichotomy between those designated as researchers and practitioners.

the first-year experience.Backward Design and the CAP modelThe backward design of curricular development starts with the basic idea of starting from the end, wherewe envision our students to be after the learning experience we are designing [4]. Its central premise isthat once the educational purposes (i.e., the learning outcomes) of a learning experience areconscientiously selected, the rest of the elements of the experience (i.e., the pedagogical activities, andcorresponding assessments) should be designed toward the achievement of those identified outcomes [5].Therefore, the three main stages of backward design are: (1) identifying desired results, (2) determiningacceptable evidence, and (3) planning learning experiences and instruction
