It is projected that STEMjobs will continue growing 17.0% during 2008 - 2018, compared to just 9.8% for non-STEMjobs (Langdon, 2011). Besides, workers in STEM occupations also earn more on average than their counterparts inother fields, regardless of their educational attainment. A regression analysis – which controls fora variety of demographic, geographic, industry, etc – demonstrated the salary premium in STEMfields. In addition to higher earnings, workers in STEM occupations on average experience lowerunemployment rates than those in other fields. Another impressive characteristic of STEMworkers is their educational attainment. More than two-thirds

Additionally, admittedstudents are eligible to take any set of short courses, regardless of their engineering specialty. Asa result, our robotics short course had to be accessible to students who had never worked withembedded systems before while at the same time it needed to engage and challenge thosestudents who already had robotics project experience.The second major challenge we faced is that all of the presented material had to be

vague, researchers will often develop a codebook thatdescribes each code with a concrete definition and example quote from the data (Creswell,2014). This codebook can then be used by multiple researchers within the project or futureresearchers conducting similar studies. It is common to have multiple coders code the same dataset or split large data sets between multiple coders. Walther et al. (2013) suggested IRR as ameans to “mitigate interpretative bias” and ensure a “continuous dialogue between researchers tomaintain consistency of the coding” (p. 650).
