Paradoxically perhaps, we believe that qualitativeresults may speak more forcefully to our colleagues in these predominantly quantitativefields. We believe the qualitative research methods will give us ways to approach ourcolleagues with solid evidence on what engineering students are actually experiencing,learning, feeling, and thinking in those initial classes. We believe that this evidence willnot match what those professors believe is happening in their classes.We undertook this investigation of qualitative research methods in order to be able to usesolid methods in tackling our “why” questions.

Kyran Mish, the new leadstructural faculty member, suggested that we consider the structural group to be similar to a start-up company during the rebuilding period. By this he meant that risks often avoided in academiashould be realized as opportunities to a start-up. To support this idea materially, he plowed themajority of his start up funding into renovating the office space at Fears Lab.

New designsand products are needed to keep pace with change in the marketplace.Research and Higher EducationThe role of higher education in research is not surprising given the integration of advancedgraduate education and R&D funding. Nearly half (48%) of U.S. basic research is performed byhigher education institutions, while 42% of funding for all basic research is provided by thefederal government. Federal funding supported half (51%) of all academic R&D performance in2017 [4]. In the university, engineering and the sciences account for a large segment of newresearch with much of the funding coming from the government. Institutions are normallyjudged on the amount of federal grants or industry sponsored funding
