Technology, Engineering and RiskDoing technology is central to what we are as humans. Anthropologists have chosen to describethe first modern humans as “homo habilis,” therefore expressing the centrality of our “tool-using”and tool creating capabilities to our very nature.2 But, everyday observation reminds us thattechnology, like all other human

(26)Unfortunately, while there is agreement on the generaldefinition of PBL, implementation has varied widely. (9)The large variation in PBL practicesmakes the analysis of its effectiveness a bit complex. Many studies comparing PBL to traditionalprograms are simply not talking about the same thing. As reported by Prince(9), “ For meta-studies of PBL, to show any significant effect compared to traditional programs, the signal fromthe common elements of PBL would have to be greater than the noise produced by differences inthe implementation of both PBL and traditional curricula

In this analysis, the summary sheets captured salient information for eachparticipant across the four years to identify themes and patterns related to their perceptions ofthemselves as future engineers. All 40 semi-structured interviews were then coded using Atlas Ti software with open-codingstrategies. Open-coding strategies identify patterns and themes related to the research questionsthat arise inductively from data rather than through application of theory 40.

For instance, Miller and Bertoline14 suggestthat spatial ability develops over periods of time and is related to stages of a person’sdevelopment and various learning environments and types of life experiences.

Everyone had a slightly different viewpoint so it was really good to see all sides of the situation in order to learn that much more. It helped me understand the point of the exercise.
