that military students bring to engineering and how do these perceptions relate to institutional agent background and role? 3. What promising practices exist for supporting military students in engineering and how do institutional agents describe gaps, if any, in these practices?Research DesignThis study uses an emergent qualitative analysis approach that is based on grounded theorymethodology [14]. As such, the research design pulls from aspects of grounded theory toultimately identify and conceptually map the institutional agents’ awareness of military studentsat their institution. This also allows for the synthesis of effective practices that can be used toimprove support for military students. The research design is described

Participants received an honorarium forparticipating in the interviews and all IRB procedures at participating institutions were followed(IRB: HS12-318).2.5 AnalysisWe used MaxQDA qualitative software to code the interviews for various patterns inparticipants’ responses, using a loosely structured grounded theory methodology. However, wealso attempted to quantify how common various trends in the responses occurred to give readersa sense of how to weight our findings and to draw out contrasts among our two groups. Sincethe interviews were open-ended (allowing us to discover a variety of nuanced approaches tothese problems), the numbers we report reflect topics that naturally emerged from theconversation. These numbers are therefore not as

applyknowledge by organizing information from a new situation according to its structural featuresbased on its underlying conceptual basis. This is in contrast to the shallow conceptual knowledgeof a novice who has an ability to apply knowledge by near transfer to very similar situations thatdiffer little from the context in which the knowledge was acquired1. Novices organizeinformation from new situations by grouping them through similarities in surface features, notunderlying concepts, and do not have an ability to understand controlling mechanisms of a Page 24.1204.4phenomenon. In learning, an ability to effectively transfer knowledge is also an

The Chronicle of Higher Education hasrecently pointed to the lack of quality teaching which the public and students value but oftentimes is not a priority and not rewarded equally to research at many higher education institutions(McMurtrie 2023), ineffective use of teaching evaluation processes (McMurtrie 2023), extremecosts of higher education that keep increasing, etc. The public’s declining faith in highereducation is a concerning and a pivotal moment in the history of higher education.

-defined set of beliefs “allows its owner tofeel more secure and grasp on to certainty, despite the myriad of choices, decisions, andunknowns that must be constantly navigated” [27, p. 4]. This feeling of security makes us trustour beliefs, helping us to make better informed judgements in our behavior. Different types ofbeliefs can be an indicator of the behaviors we use in certain situations [13], [29]. The reasonedaction approach (RAA) suggests that there are three types of beliefs that can define ourbehavioral intentions and thus predict our behavior: behavioral, normative, and control beliefs[13]. Behavioral and normative beliefs focus on the consequences and social ramifications thatone perceives their behavior to have. Control beliefs focus

There are on-going debates about the efficacy of combining versus maintaining separate offices. To someextent these debates are grounded in the different realities that may be experienced by womenand minorities, while to another they are informed by serious questions about the distribution ofscarce resources at the university.This paper reports preliminary results of a pilot study that explores the following researchquestions within a set of nine institutions: What has been the trend in representation of women, underrepresented minority women, underrepresented minority men in engineering
