capacity can be maximized for the relatedmath manipulation. This paper focuses on the three remaining issues, namely, associativelearning from daily experience, critical thinking of a pertinent parameter, and causal reasoningwith a mechanism.Experiential learning has an important associative learning component. Using the trend on agraph to understand time of flight would clarify the mechanism other than a math procedure ofsolving a quadratic equation. Daily experience would show that an object would need moreinitial velocity v0 to reach ground when being thrown upward against gravity downward pulling(-9.8 m/s/s) at 120 meters below ground. The time of flight can be obtained directly whenapplying the quadratic equation formula to the kinematics

innovation in engineering education necessitates research on ways of thinking. Wesought to gain this understanding based on four specific ways of thinking including futures,values, systems, and strategic thinking. The study builds on the existing body of knowledgeregarding these ways of thinking, while initiating a first step toward an ‘EER ways of thinking’model. We believe the resulting model could serve as an organizing and motivating structure toframe decisions throughout all engineering education endeavors.ReferencesBrown, T. A. (2015).

The goal of using this analysis, as consistent with founders of themethodology [12], is to develop a theory during textural analysis without preconceived ideas onwhat the solution, or theory, could be. GMT was developed in the 1960’s to give sociologists atool that allowed them to generate new theories. It has begun to be adopted by the designdisciplines to help navigate the fuzzy front end of design by coding observations in transcripts,for example. The idea is that stories can emerge, and connections can be made betweenunrelated ideas and help form potential hypotheses [13]. In this initial coding exercise, word-by-word, and line-by-line coding strategies were employed, as described by

Suppose the average rating for all students is4 on a scale of 1 to 5. Then a reviewer who answers “4” to every rubric item on every reviewmight well be close to the average score received by each author.
