data, whichespecially allowed the recognition of both explicit and implicit nuances, resulting in moremeaningful findings.Preliminary analysis led to a focused coding process as patterns started to emerge. Both themore data oriented initial coding as well as the conceptualizing focused coding happened inparallel for much of the overall coding process. Focused coding was the first conceptual stepin the data analysis where significant or frequent first order codes are used to group andexplain larger sets of data. All of the codes remaining after the initial and focused coding,were then further thematically analyzed in a format inspired by Gioia et al.’s data structure[38].

United States according to the annual ASEE 2018 By the Numbersreport. We operationalized “students seeing ethics in a course” by looking at whether an electiveor required course mentioned in a program’s graduation requirements had the word ethics (or avariant) in either the course title or course description. We acknowledge two potential flaws interms of false positives and false negatives - just because a course has ethics somewhere in itsdescription or title does not necessarily send a strong signal about how that was translated intothe classroom (i.e., an instance of a false positive in the data). Likewise, a course description ortitle not having ethics in the title does not necessarily translate to students not learning aboutsome aspect(s

during the semester1. Setup: Identify the (1) assumed sample distribution, (2) the exact type of test being run, (3) the number of the ‘tails’ of that test, (4) the formula for your test statistic, (5) the statistical distribution we assume that the test statistic follows, and (6) the null and alternative hypothesis. Calculation: Calculate (1) the test statistic(s), (2) the p value(s), and (3) the effect size(s) or power(s) as appropriate. Interpretation: (1) state the formal result of your test using your hypotheses. (2) explain the result of your test in terms of what it means in the question context – and reference either the effect size or the power as appropriate. Figure 3 Example problem framing for a

vn ≈ vth = = 350 m s−1 (4) mArFor the electron density, we assumed the electrons to be an ideal gas at standard pressure and theaforementioned estimated temperature of 35 eV = 4.1 × 105 K. This corresponds to a numberdensity of 1.8 × 1022 m−3 . This was on a similar order of magnitude to electron densitiesdescribed in Goebel. 5The ionization rate could be determined only through empirical tables. We found one such tablepublished by Chung et al. 8 The closest temperature tabulated was 32 eV, with a correspondingionization rate of 3.112 × 10−14 m3 s−1 .With these values in place, the mean free path came out to λ = 630 nm.

That is a central issue of this discussion.As a matter of policy in the 1980’s governments seem to have taken the view that it is amatter of the economic good that students should study technology in schools [15], and by1992 a World Council of Associations for Technology Education had been founded. Theconference proceedings associated with the founding of this organization, had the title“Technological Literacy, Competence and Innovation in Human Resource Development”[16].Yet, in this extensive report there are only two papers that mention technological literacy[17; 18]. Both authors are American; one, Michael Dyrenfurth is a member of ASEE. Hisdefinition was,“Technological literacy is a concept

team re-designed each of these three major coursedeliverables, with the goal of fostering an Entrepreneurial Mindset in students and leveragingsynergies between the Entrepreneurial Mindset and the existing goals of the course (engineeringdesign and technical communication). In particular, the faculty team created a new linkagebetween the research sequence and the humanities assignment. The new research sequence isbuilt around the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals; each student chooses one of the goals toexplore through their individual rhetorical analysis, annotated bibliography, and literaturereview. The humanities assignment is a team project in which students explore solutions tosustainability problems on the campus of Rowan University
problem solvers from poor ones by their awareness of which strategies theyhave used and their knowledge of where they are in their thinking relative to the final solution[18].Such criticisms have led some to back away from the “teaching problem solving” approachemerging from the 1970’s [19–21]. In fact, Schön went as far to argue that there is no such thingas problem solving in the engineering profession as “no engineer has ever been given a problemto solve.” Schön’s contention is the value of engineers’ work is not found in their problemsolving abilities. Rather, the essential facet of engineers’ work is found in their “problemsetting.” Engineers make sense of a given messy world from which many factors need to beconsidered, organized, and

She stated, I had realized the mental and emotional toll that grad school was heaping on [me], honestly, unrealistic level[s] of expectations, the multiple projects, and the teaching, and still dealing with personal life, and all while being thrown in the deep end.

This criterion spotlights methodologists’ attention to integration in mixed methods research [see 1].

This can be accomplished throughout the design by picking extreme or negative cases, testing competing hypotheses, and
