Thematic analysis shouldidentify explicit and implicit ideas within data to develop themes that then provide answers to theresearch questions [24]. Explicit ideas are straightforward expressions repeated within the data.Implicit ideas require digging into the meaning behind the words to identify unspoken truths thatappear in subtle ways in the data.

In addition, little research has includedacademic faculty and practicing engineers as two distinct groups. Commonly these groups arecombined and defined as professionals. In order to better integrate ill-structured problems within the curriculum, the approach tothese problems associated with a person’s learning style should be examined, as well as thedifferentiation between learning styles among participant (faculty, student, practicing engineers)groups. This is important as differences between groups can be the result of significant externalfactors as well as influence educational instruction. The goal of this study is to explore

The academic institution desires to be ofgreat help to local and regional industry by teaching students skills of immediate andtangible use by industry. Industry prospers, economies are fortified, academia hasfulfilled its role, and America is strengthened. The antithetical method is often negativelyviewed as too “theoretical” or ivory tower in approach.While useful to some degree, the “market pull” approach is necessarily reactionary,shortsighted, and works not to strengthen America’s economy but to weaken it.

At theheight of this calamity 17 pilots crashed in a single day [3]. While the Air Force initially blamedindividual pilots and instructors, the researcher Gilbert Daniels investigated the aircrafts’ humaninterfaces. The standard at the time was to design for “the average man,” with non-adjustablecontrols assuming fixed human dimensions. Daniels studied the measurements of 4063 pilots,and found that precisely zero were average [4]. The solution to this design error was dramatic:The Air Force effectively “banned” the

Given that salaries andbenefits are the ‘bread-and-butter’ issues that unions have traditionally bargained most intenselyover, engineering unions have the unique opportunity to focus their bargaining power towardmaking improvements within the broader communities impacted by their work. Bargaining forthe Common Good is an offensive bargaining strategy which seeks to organize with communitypartners for contract demands which benefit and invest in the wider community as a whole, notjust the bargaining unit of the union, expanding notions of the participants, processes, andpurposes of bargaining [44, 45].

One teacher (T8) succinctly indicated on her survey that abarrier to technology integration is “Children having [insufficient] background knowledge ofhow to use them.” This was problematic in that teacher’s eyes because of the time it takes forstudents to become sufficiently acquainted with technology to use it effectively. As T2explained, “I tend to come across challenges when students do not have enough time to becomefamiliar with the software.” A third teacher (T19) expressed how even
