By providingsuch information, we hope to advance both the quality and use of mixed methods research inengineering education.Tashakkori and Teddlie7 define mixed methods research as the blend of “qualitative andquantitative approaches in the methodology of a study” (p. ix). According to Creswell and Plano Page 24.68.2Clark8 mixed methods research combines “methods, a philosophy, and a research designorientation” geared towards the combination of qualitative and quantitative data (p. 5).

Active andcooperative learning approaches can be carried out in any learning space. However, learningspaces can be designed to facilitate and encourage these activities. Students report greaterinteraction with each other and with faculty in these specially designed spaces relative to otherlearning spaces they use.

This paper fits the latter, qualitative category.The papers that talk about approaches to undergraduate research describe a number of options.Among them are funded projects, unfunded projects, applied studies, theoretical studies, groupprojects, and individual projects. For example, one department presents students withundergraduate research projects that focus on demonstrating proven concepts [2

grades represent instructor evaluation of students and have been usedpervasively for probably as long as there have been universities. In contrast, the acquisition anddissemination of student evaluations of their instructors and courses have arisen relativelyrecently, from student-based efforts in the 1960’s. Many universities now incorporate evaluationresults in faculty salary and promotion decisions, and nearly all major U.S. universities regularlycollect such data. (Ory 1990, Seldin 1993) Students are probably the best resource universitieshave to assess instructor performance; they experience all aspects of many courses and thus cancompare and contrast such experiences.

Indeed itwas a call to reverse the changes necessitated by the war, in a way that was similar to otheracademic policy statements of the era. However, there were other implications of the 1944Hammond Report that will be considered later on in this paper.The end of the war brought a series of significant developments, beginning with a conference onthe humanities organized by William Wickenden, who by then was the President of the CaseSchool of Applied Science.
