since knowledge is dependent on social activity and interpretation,therefore researcher bias is expected; (3) qualitative methods of inquiry such as open-endedquestions and observation are preferred ways to understand how social actors make sense of theirworld.9A search of the Journal of Engineering Education on the topics of qualitative research andqualitative methods resulted in approximately 16 articles. Several themes emerged upon reviewof these articles: (1) most studies that included a qualitative component also utilized a mixedmethod approach with quantitative data gathering and analysis techniques; e.g. 10-12 (2) severalstudies that employed qualitative methods were designed with the purpose of understanding theimpact of gender on

The LCDLM was developed toprovide undergraduate and graduate students with a dynamic active learning experience inengineering subjects, aiming to boost engagement within the engineering classroom setting. AEnhancing Engineering Educationsignificant aspect of the LCDLMs is their affordability and accessibility as highlighted in [8].These scholars emphasize how LCDLMs provide cost-effective alternatives to conventionallaboratory equipment. This accessibility is particularly crucial in STEM fields, where experientiallearning is essential for grasping complex concepts. LCDLMs have been researched to promoteactive learning in engineering education. For example, a study

This manuscript describes a project designed to comprehensively assess student learning with an elementary school curriculum (Engineering is Elementary) and a comprehensive implementation in math, science, language arts, social studies and technological literacy. North Carolina State University Colleges of Engineering and Education have partnered with two North Carolina public elementary schools and the Museum of Science, Boston to support existing implementations of engineering magnet elementary schools. The pilot test implementation at an initial test site has been researched with regards to student learning in design, engineering, and
perspective on self-regulated learning [14]. They argued that an individual’s identity system, which includes theirbeliefs, values, and self-conceptions, can influence their motivation and self-regulation.Moreover, they suggested that an individual’s identity system is dynamic and can change overtime, as they encounter new roles and experiences. Garner et al. researched the overlap betweenDSMRI and situated motivation in their study of undergraduate engineering students [15]. Theyfound that the emergence of outreach ambassador role identities in students was associated withincreased motivation and engagement in their engineering coursework. This suggests that anindividual’s sense of identity and the roles they occupy can impact their motivation and
