The intent ofcollaborative autoethnography is to engage in a process that reflects on the experiences of acollaborative effort, it is “a process because as the researcher studies and analyzes their ownexperiences, meaning is made influencing future experiences and reflections” [10]. Thecollaborative autoethnography approach merges together three distinct research methods andapproaches: (1) the reflexive study of self through autobiography, (2) a lens from the study ofculture through ethnography, and (3) the multiple perspectives from a group throughcollaboration [11].

, the “research-type,” and who have not had the opportunity to practice engineering. Second, industry’sprevailing perception that engineering education does not prepare graduates adequately for thepractice. Therefore, from industry’s perspective, the quality of education for engineering practiceis seen as deficient. Third, blending practical experience in teaching design and design-relatedcourses is repeatedly emphasized by ABET, and by other engineering organizations, such asASEE.(2,3) Thus, directions for proper merging of professional experience with engineeringscience in design courses are a concern that comes up often in educational forums. How bestcould such “a merging scenario” be planned and implemented, depends on: faculty foresight

Nearly three quarters of taxpayers pay more in FICA taxesthan they do in income tax. These taxes determine the social security benefits that an individualcan receive, and the earning record determines whether an individual qualifies for Medicare.This paper’s analysis is presented from the perspective of a graduating engineer, so that it can beused by faculty in their classes. The case can be analyzed by students individually or in teams. Ituses key concepts and tools from engineering economy. Because

The counterbalancing consideration was the maturity of the studentsand their ability to more fully appreciate such a program. The result was that the majority ofstudents selected were juniors and seniors, with a few sophomores; no graduate students wereincluded in the study program. As more experience was gained throughout the years, morestudents from outside the engineering disciplines were included.
