innovation in engineering education necessitates research on ways of thinking. Wesought to gain this understanding based on four specific ways of thinking including futures,values, systems, and strategic thinking. The study builds on the existing body of knowledgeregarding these ways of thinking, while initiating a first step toward an ‘EER ways of thinking’model. We believe the resulting model could serve as an organizing and motivating structure toframe decisions throughout all engineering education endeavors.ReferencesBrown, T. A. (2015).

helped them in their undergraduateeducation to succeed. The goal of using this analysis, as consistent with founders of themethodology [12], is to develop a theory during textural analysis without preconceived ideas onwhat the solution, or theory, could be. GMT was developed in the 1960’s to give sociologists atool that allowed them to generate new theories. It has begun to be adopted by the designdisciplines to help navigate the fuzzy front end of design by coding observations in transcripts,for example. The idea is that stories can emerge, and connections can be made betweenunrelated ideas and help form potential hypotheses [13]. In this initial coding exercise, word-by-word, and line-by-line coding strategies were employed, as described by

Students reported their mentors helped with the following: 1) providingfunding, setting goals, providing positive and constructive feedback on their work, and being supportiveof ideas which allowed the mentee to follow his/her own ideas for their work.
