Career resilienceplays an important role in early career engineers’ identify transition from students to professionals,yet current literature examining the career resilience of engineers is rather limited, and the samplesof resilience studies were largely confined to engineers in North America. Based on interviewswith 16 early career engineers in China, this paper presents a grounded theory analysis of thedevelopment of career resilience for recent engineering graduates at the workplace. The studyfound that perceived mini-crises, supporting resources, and positive adaptation are the threeladders of career resilience for

could be through theuse of a generator that is connected to the wheels of the wheelchair. As the wheels spin, thegenerator converts the mechanical energy into electricity, which can then be stored in a battery orused directly to power the seat heaters.In the late sixteenth century the more conventional looking wheelchair was adapted with a self-propelled chair being manufactured in 1655 [1]. The wheelchair then began to have a largerpurpose for medical needs. Slowly wheelchairs began being electrically powered. Similar to howwe wanted to approach our project, we examined a report about a group of researchers that wereable to generate electricity using the chain and wheels on bicycles.

Because tight fillet radii weaken the shaft, larger fillet radii are recommended. Thosepoints would lead to shafts that are more economical to produce and less likely to undergo fatiguefailure, without compromising key strength.IntroductionThis project arose due to difficulties with teaching and learning design of keyed joints in thecontext of a project-centered machine design course; that context is worth describing here.

Survey research has a long history in the realm of human subject research and has arelatively mature methodology associated with it (see, e.g., Sapsford, 2007). Mixed methods research involves both qualitative and quantitative data collection andanalysis (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2018). The use of quantitative data analysis in engineeringwork is long and uncontroversial given engineering’s historical commitment to philosophicalprinciples of post-positivism.

These discussions can be constructive for students who need help with the retention and application of information. 2. Demonstration of tipping, even applying forces on the table in the classroom to using an elastic band to capture the geometry of the footprint, can help students to retain the concept. 3.
