thematic analysis approach, followingBraun & Clark’s six-phase method [20]. We first read the interview transcripts for familiarity,recording memos with summaries and initial reactions and analysis. We then re-read thetranscripts, generating initial codes and beginning to identify themes with respect to our researchquestion. We then reviewed the transcripts again to further develop the themes. We drew onNowell et al.’s [21] approach to conducting and reporting trustworthy thematic analysis. Tworesearch team members each reviewed each transcript to begin engaging with the data. We thencoded five interview transcripts together to develop a coding scheme and begin to identifythemes. We used both inductive codes and deductive codes. We developed
, surveying was very clearly viewed as a majorcomponent of a standard Civil Engineering curriculum. In the late 1920’s, the University ofWashington required 27 credits of surveying courses, which comprised 14% of the credits for theCivil Engineering program [3].Surveying was clearly having its heyday during this time, but by the mid-20th century, theimportance of surveying relative to other areas of Civil Engineering slowly started to diminish.As Civil Engineering broadened its purview, it began to include subdisciplines such as structuralengineering, geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering, construction science andmanagement, transportation and traffic engineering, and hydraulic engineering. In addition, CivilEngineering became a much

However, this process is formative in learning andidentity formation. Situating ESI in socialization can illuminate the formal and informal elementsthat influence students’ enculturation into the profession and the ways in which undergraduateeducation can support ESI as a value and norm of engineering.AcknowledgementsThis material is based on work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant Nos.1540348, 1540341, 1540308, and 1755390.

“Simulation…hasbecome ubiquitous in engineering education.” More recently, Magana [4] presents research donewith a panel of 18 experts from academia and 19 from industry, on what modeling andsimulation (M&S) practices should be integrated into engineering education. There wassignificant consensus on the need for skills related to validation, acknowledging uncertainty inthe interpretation of simulation predictions, and developing intuition and being critical of results.Developing a healthy doubt of computer-generated results in students is an issue that others haveaddressed [5], [6]. Both the increasing use of M&S, and the need for the credibility of M&Sresults to be questioned, is addressed in the ASME Guide for Verification and

provides a way toillustrate the range of knowledge gains that could result from a reflection activity. These threefactors are used as a basis to ideate on different kinds of learning possible, but they are not thefinal factor structure we aimed to have for the instrument. Below, we explain each factor, situatethe factor briefly in relevant literature, and provide examples of student utterances that mightalign with the factor.Professional knowledge: Reflection activities clearly have the potential to help students advancetheir knowledge of the topics they are studying in order to become engineers. Our way offraming “professional knowledge” as a type of knowledge arising from engagement in reflectionactivities is in alignment with Stevens et al.’s

discussion posts indicate that the design andimplementation of this course was effective in meeting the established learning goals andsupporting students’ experiential education experiences in research. Although we hope toincorporate some in-person activities into future offerings of EGR 193, the bulk of the coursewill likely remain online to provide flexibility for students who are pursuing a wide range ofresearch experiences. One important adjustment to future online offerings of this course will beto integrate more opportunities for students to receive encouragement and positive reinforcementfrom their peers and the instructor. As noted in the discussion of week 3’s recommendation letterexercise, the asynchronous nature of this course meant that

ThePre-Tests consisted of questions related to simple biomechanics calculations that could be donewith pencil and paper. A short affect questionnaire on learning factors was also included at theend of each Pre-Test. After the VBL I and II assignment s were completed, the same respectivetests were given again as Post-Tests (some small numerical changes were made to differentiatethe Pre- and Post-test questions) to both groups A and B in class.
