Similar to the BME example, an engineering identity that values both social andtechnical dimensions presents more values and premises with which individuals can identify thusleading to more “whole-minded engineers.”Research & Development PlanThis NSF-funded RFE study utilizes a design thinking approach to develop solution(s) thataddress our three interrelated objectives: to better prepare engineers for today’s workforce, tobroaden understandings of engineering practice as both social and technical, and to createand sustain more diverse and inclusionary engineering programs.

P0 attributes this difference to the fact that it is a smaller company, and thuspeople are more apt to rely on and get to know each other.The interviewees used a variety of approaches to deal with their situations. P0 “never feltconnected with the Black [company employees]” and eventually left that company for asmall start-up. P1 did not expect to feel connected when first hired. Instead, P1’s approachwas to focus on the technical aspects of the job and “when I want to see Black folks I justdrive home.” P5 has decided,that I’m not pushing the envelope, I’m just sitting there collecting my paycheck…The less I dothe more

The transcripts have been uploaded into Atlas.ti (a qualitative dataanalysis software program) and speakers will be identified with their salient characteristics asthey reported on their pre-qualification surveys.

with the search quadcopter. The sensors and technologies used on the rescuequadcopter are similar to that of the search quadcopter. The main difference was that an electropermanent magnet is utilized in this system to hold and release the rescue package to be deliveredto the survivor (s).Figure 10 shows the collision avoidance system being tested for the search quadcopter. The firstflight test was conducted by hovering the quadcopter roughly 3 feet above the ground andactivating the altitude hold flight mode. The copter was then slowly pitched forward towards awall until the safety zone was breached and the Arduino took over the pitch control.The students presented their work both at student conferences and a professional conference.20

The following graphics indicate the data and results.Figures 1, 2, and 3, respectively, display overviews of the total Calculus I, Differential Calculus,Math 2014 enrollments; Calculus II, Integral Calculus, Math 2024 enrollments; and Calculus III,Multivariable Calculus, Math 2073 enrollments, by semester, from spring (S) 2000 through fall(F) 2016. It can be observed that enrollments are larger for the traditionally “on-sequence”courses of Calculus I and Calculus III during the fall semesters and for Calculus II in the springsemesters.

We verified the eJ entries by cross-referencing them against the design artifacts, otherverified entries, and additional qualitative data. Out of 212 entries, 83.02% were verified, where130 entries belonged to the BE groups and 46 entries belonged to MAE groups. The next stepswere segmenting and coding the verified entries based on Dym and Little’s design phases, designactivities, and project management aspects [15]. For this step, we used Table 1 and 2 as codingtables. The segmenting and coding processes were conducted independently for three

This is visually illustrated in Figure 6, which shows the sketches fromthe two sets of ideas generated by Participant 27.As shown on the left side of Figure 6, Participant 27’s initial set of ideas all had paradigm-modifying aspects to them. The most strongly paradigm-modifying solutions included a hoverboard (Idea 2) and a jetpack (Idea 5), both of which defy the constraint of physically having totravel on the snow. But even their ideas coded as paradigm-preserving had elements that are nottypically used to travel across the snow, including Idea 3 that utilized a giant snowball, and Idea4 that utilized a giant fan to propel the device.
