Åkerlind48, 53. Interviewstranscribed verbatim become the focus of the phenomenographic analysis when interviews havebeen used as the primary means of data collection. The set of transcripts represent a ‘snapshot’ ofsome of the experiences of a group of people with a particular aspect of the world in response to aparticular set of questions at a particular time49. When data collection has relied only oninterviews, no other evidence exists beyond the transcripts to inform the analysis process43.The analysis process is both one of ‘discovery’54 as well as one of ‘construction’55. The resultsare not known in advance and tested in the study, but must be discovered, or emerge fromtranscripts, and constructed in an iterative way from the transcripts. In

options for curriculum design in first-year programs.Background and ObjectivesIn the mid-2000’s, a call went out to integrate the teaching of science, technology, engineering,and mathematics into what we now collectively refer to as STEM [1]. Since that time, additionalinitiatives have suggested that it might be even more beneficial to integrate the arts into STEMlearning, creating STEAM. Some even argue that it should be pushed even further, addingadditional study of the societal implications of STEAM research and work, further lengtheningthe acronym to STEAMS [2]. For this paper, the focus will remain on STEAM and itsimplications for the first-year engineering curriculum.Students’ experiences in their first-year engineering (FYE) classes are

This intelligent switching system can be customized and employed inany industry where there is a need for programmable, timed, and/or simultaneous routing ofanalog or digital signals between devices. Potential applications of these automated switchingsystems include, but are not limited to: demarcation points, test floors, redundant backupsystems, remote maintenance, etc. This

. Furthermore, in our experience, studentstypically fail to do simple tasks that can enhance the quality of their lab reports, typically due torunning out of time in the preparation of said report. In an attempt to change these trends wenotice in our students, many alterations to the laboratory course have been integrated into thecourse since 2010, including the integration of experiments based on emerging technology andmoving to a new laboratory space. However, these elements are costly and not necessarily ableto be integrated at another university. As such, we felt changing the way the course wasconducted could be a cost-free way to generate students excitement toward the lab.
