Factual consistency evaluateswhether each meaning unit in the summary is backed up by the qualitative data. Importantly, wealso added whether information found in the source qualitative data is represented in thesummary. Comprehensiveness evaluates the extent to which the summary reached thecomprehensiveness of the source qualitative data [6]. We dropped “harmfulness” from Tang et al.’s evaluation scheme since the data in this project does not have the clear physiological harms inthe biomedical studies. We adopted a 5-point Likert scale with 1 being “the least satisfied” and 5being “the most

this differs from their understandingof education research through their next sentence: ”But education research is not that way, where there is always a correct answer.” - Participant 4Participant 4’s statement indicates how many graduate students in the ESED department use their linguistic capital fromtheir specific disciplines within education research. Similar to other graduate students within ESED, participant 4 brings theirdisciplinary expertise into the L&L space; which melds with the language from other STEM disciplines, resulting in a richmethod of communicating research to people in and outside of the space. In another statement, participant 4 also explains howthey value the linguistic capital others bring. ”It’s important

The purpose of this paperis to present how interest relates to engineering as a career choice for a group historicallyunderrepresented in engineering. Using the Social Cognitive Career Theory as a frame work,high school and college engineering students from Appalachia were interviewed concerningcareer choices to answer the research questions: What role(s) does interest play in engineeringcareer choices of Appalachian students? How do such roles differ for high school and collegestudents? To answer the research questions, qualitative data from a total of 36 junior and seniorhigh

In this case the curriculum is not delivered as successivecourses; rather topics from different courses can be seamlessly woven together during curriculumdelivery. This ensures the shortest time span between the time at which the student takes a giventopic and the time at which he/she covers its prerequisite topic(s). Figure 5.

However, research hasfound that a lack of sense of belonging is a determinant factor in a student’s decision to leaveengineering [12]. The relationships a student develops with their peers, teachers, and faculty canaffect that sense, influencing student performance, well-being, and the decision to stay/leave theirengineering program [13, 12]. The students who appear to have greater difficulty with their senseof belonging are those who are often underrepresented in the STEM/Engineering field(s), such aswomen or students with minoritized racial/ethnic identities [10

Eachhypothesis needs to be tested and verified to see whether it is a cause for the failure. If possiblecauses are rejected, new possibilities are generated and tested. Final cause(s) are formed out of aspace of possibilities. To complete troubleshooting, corrective action is taken to eliminate thecause(s) by either repairing or replacing relevant physical components. These tasks are shownusing a flowchart in Figure 1.
