The completeness classifiercategorizes responses as irrelevant or incomplete, partial, or complete, providing instructors witha scalable method to evaluate student engagement with ethical dilemmas. Beyond completeness,models will categorize student justifications based on perspective (e.g., first-person vs. third-person reasoning), motive (e.g., self-interest vs. social good), and reasoning approach (e.g., strictrule application vs. situated reasoning).

Norton surface waves are waves thattravel along the earth’s surface in the same way a electromagnetic wave would travel along atransmission line[1]. The losses are dictated by the frequency, the higher the frequency, thegreater the signal attenuation. The Norton surface wave permits reasonable propagation ofsignals below the medium frequency (MF) bands and therefore, depending on the transmitterpower, AM broadcast signals can propagate up to a maximum of hundred or miles or so duringthe day via the surface wave.

of our qualitative research. Fourresearchers on the team completed the interrater reliability (IRR) process, during which they codedseveral in-vivo examples that were randomly sampled from the collected data. The randomsampling strategy was chosen to avoid prioritizing certain themes, thus eliminating potentialselection bias [56]. After coding these samples, the researchers gave their feedback on thecodebook, including comments on the clarity, repetitiveness, and relevance of certain codes andsubcodes. The IRR statistical method adopted was Krippendorff’s Alpha, as it is suitable forqualitative data, works for any number of raters, allows for complexity beyond a simple one-to-one code-data mapping, and handles missing data [57].

. IntroductionDesign is widely considered to be the most distinguishing activity of engineering. It has also longbeen understood that engineering institutions should graduate engineers who could designeffectively to meet societal needs. Historically, engineering curricula have been based largely onan “engineering science” model, referred to as the “Grinter Model”, in which engineering istaught only after a solid basis in science and mathematics. The resulting engineering graduateswere perceived by industry and academia, at the time, as being “ill-prepared” for the practice.Despite steps taken to remedy the situation, through greater industry-academia collaboration,Both design faculty and design practitioners argue that further improvements are

[13], [19]-[22].On the students’ end, verbalizing one’s flow of thought promotes generative processes formeaningful learning beyond rote memorization [23]-[25]. Often students adopt rotememorization as their short-term learning strategy for written exams, limiting their scope ofcognitive processes to a passive receiver of information [23]. In contrast, students preparing forverbal explanations are promoted to engage in generative processes in learning [26]-[27], such asselecting and abstracting important information, organizing them into structure, and transferringit for problem

characteristics of seekingopportunities, taking risks beyond security, and having the tenacity to push an idea through toreality combined into a special perspective of the entrepreneurs. An “entrepreneurialperspective” can be developed in individuals. This perspective can be exhibited inside or outsidean organization, in profit or not-for-profit enterprises, and in business or non-business activitiesfor the purpose of bringing forth creative ideas. Thus, entrepreneurship is an integrated conceptthat permeates an individual’s business in an innovative manner. It is this perspective that hasrevolutionized the way business is conducted at every level and in every country.Until 1970, very few universities offered entrepreneurship courses. The Harvard
