Development Continuous Refinement and Development Application Confirmation and DisconfirmationFigure 1. The general method of theory-building research in applied disciplines (Adapted fromLynham, 2002).We must clarify at this point that theory-building is related to Strauss and Corbin (1998)’sgrounded theory, but not entirely similar. Grounded theory, for our purposes, constitutes onemethod-research approach of theory building (meaning that reflects elements and phases of theprocess) that is mainly qualitative in nature. The

The first two phases include semi-structured interviewswith engineering students and professionals about their experiences solving a problem requiringsystems thinking and a think-aloud interview in which participants are asked to talk through howthey would approach a given engineering scenario and later reflect on the experiences thatinform their thinking. Data from these two phases will be used to develop a written

political identity, social welfare, and perspectives ofdiversity. In reflecting on the personal impact of recent national events and how politicaldiscussions have or have not been integrated into their STEM courses, two themes emerged: 1)political awareness and 2) future-self impact. Findings revealed that first year engineeringstudents recognized the personal and social impacts current national events imposed on theirfriends, family, and society. However, students did not sense the significance of politicaldiscourse concerning the social impact and ethical practice of engineering. Our research showsthat limiting political discourse in the classroom and depoliticizing engineering spacescontributed to students dissociating the relevance of political

. Theirimpact on student learning was also partially reflected in student responses to other open-endedquestions. For instance, students were able to provide important justifications when prompted todiscuss energy sources with an advocate of a particular approach, such as “You have to factor inthe cost, the power it supplies, and the effectiveness over X amount of years.” “The best way toselect an energy source is to focus on being environmentally friendly first. Then find the mostcost effective that will produce enough energy for your needs.” Students also commented on themost important things they learned through the game such as “The most important thing that Ilearned was to be environmentally friendly rather than being the most cost and energy

This lack of experience and interest is much more difficult to overcome, yet is quicklysensed by the undergraduates taking the course who will reflect this in their comments on thequality of instruction at the end of the semester.
