SI was selected because the model had been widely investigatedin engineering education and a great deal of researchers has reported on the positive results of SIworkshops (Martin & Arendale, 1994), since it was initially proposed in 1973 by Dr. DeannaMartin at the University of Missouri–Kansas City (UMKC).
