However, in our practice, most texts and papers lack a strongarticulation and demonstration of various ways to smooth narratives, and do not offerdescriptions of the exact procedure through which narrative smoothing occurs. We thereforehave designed this paper with two ends in mind: First, to promote the credibility and viability ofnarrative analysis for engineering education researchers, there must be greater transparencyregarding how researchers go from a raw interview transcript to a publishable narrative. Second,researchers considering using narrative analysis methods will be more equipped to employ anddefend their methodological decisions in using narrative

? One reviewercommented that some people in academia have “wised-up” to the concept of “lean design” toeliminate irrelevant courses and are using “industry required courses to teach and educate theirstudents.” The emphasis of students and their parents recently has been on “getting a job” ratherthan “getting an education”, which puts the emphasis on getting the degree, not necessarilylearning the material. More courses have been developed on resume writing and job interviewingto help students get jobs. Courses that are not “job oriented”, such as the basic science andmaterial courses, are cut back as being unnecessary, but the technological society that existsrequires that engineers have an understanding of how and why devices work.
