clearobjectives that are agreed upon by various stakeholders are essential for many purposes such asassessment, curriculum design, and collaborative efforts among professors. Our most interesting and challenging interpretive task arose because our starting hypothesiswas not confirmed! In particular, one of our initial beliefs was that faculty and perhaps studentswould recognize that most of the objectives are not being effectively learned. We also thoughtthat students and perhaps faculty would recognize that most of the objectives are not being Page 8.924.12emphasized (e.g. How many professors focus on teaching students how to be metacognitive

Therefore, high school students‟attitudes to engineering may be an important predictor of not only being adequately preparedto engineering but its pursuit. If more high school students acquire positive attitudes towardsengineering, more of them will be motivated to choose engineering as a career.An attitude is a

To address concerns about inter-coder reliability, we developed a process thatcombines independent coding with collaborative evaluation and recoding.

In addition to each student‟s weekly allocation of diaries to be coded,each member of the team coded one, common diary entry. At weekly team meetings, eachassistant reported his or her codes for the commonly coded diary entry.
