). 8FindingsCategory 1. Students’ Perception of the Relationship Between Empathy and ReframingThe value codes mapped into Category 1 describe how students perceived their reframingdecisions in a user-centered, empathic design context. To the question regarding the associationbetween reframing decisions and user-centered empathic design, 59% of the students answeredthat their reframing decisions were connected to user-centered empathic design in some form.Forty-three percent stated that their reframing processes were initiated and guided by theirmotivation to focus on more significant problems to the users. Thirty-three percent commentedthat their reframing decisions were made in consideration of how users felt during product useand aimed for better usability
journey map highlighting salientexperiences they’ve had during the previous semester. Information from the interview transcriptsand journey maps is placed into a conceptually clustered matrix and reviewed by multipleresearchers for accuracy. Through the process we draw on multiple sources of data alongsideconstant comparison of findings between researchers to make sense of the students’ experienceswhile retaining their social reality [31]. Alongside the use of first-person direct quotes, these effortshelp retain ongoing communicative validation of each student’s story, and a “co-construction ofmeaning” as we develop findings [32]. Through this process, both positive and negativeinteractions with faculty emerged as salient moments within students

Her research focuses on the interactions between student mo- tivation and their learning experiences. Her projects focus on student perceptions, beliefs and attitudes towards becoming engineers and scientists, development of problem solving skills, self-regulated learn- ing, and epistemic beliefs.

After obtaining his Ph.D. in 2008, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Utrecht University (The Netherlands) prior to returning to UK, where he now holds the positions of Program Manager at CAER and Adjunct Assistant Professor at the De- partment of Chemistry. His current research focuses on the application of heterogeneous catalysis to the production of renewable fuels and chemicals, with emphasis on the upgrading of algae and waste oils to drop-in hydrocarbon fuels. His synergistic activities include participating in a number of K-20 educational

interviews was designed to understandstudents’ background and pathways into engineering. The second round of interviews involvedasking the students to complete a journey map to guide the interview focused on understandingtheir identity trajectory. This journey map documented the “high points” and “low points” of astudent’s experiences over the previous semester and was used as a reflective tool and datacollection artifact to guide the narrative interviews. The third round of interviews continues to usejourney maps and students’ stories to understand their development in engineering.The interviews were used to develop “restoryed” case summaries. A restoryed case summary is ashort version of each student’s pathway and highlights. In addition to these
