Use of the Critical Incident Technique for Qualitative Research in Engineering Education: An Example from a Grounded Theory StudyAbstract The critical incident technique is a well-established qualitative research method that isuseful in exploring significant experiences in order to better understand resulting behavior. Thecritical incident technique is emerging as a tool for research and for building theories inengineering education.1, 2 This paper describes the initial state of a grounded theory study. Thepurpose of the larger study is to develop a theory that relates how students perceive the role oftheir family in making engineering-related academic decisions. The population

In fact, research in the field indicates thatteamwork and communication skills – competencies found in the ‘middle’ of the list – are topcompetencies for engineering practice. Additionally, the need to investigate potential clusters ofcompetencies has been emphasized in this research, identified as a gap in both engineering educationand research.Considering the research, and motivated to inform engineering education curricular design andimprovement at the University of Manitoba, an exploratory case study was designed in part toinvestigate how the CEAB graduate

Several participants in our study shared instances ofnavigating grief, illness, and an array of challenges. Amidst these difficult moments, participantsdescribed feeling supported when their advisors displayed understanding, flexibility with workdeadlines, and encouraging students to prioritize their wellness. For example, Alicia, a Latinxwoman in Wildlife Science, wrote, “My grandmother died this past month, and I had been goingback and forth in the months preceding her death - my primary advisor was very understandingon what this meant for my research timelines and involvement in the lab.” Tiffany, a Blackwoman in Engineering, found comfort in
