Work as a teamto fundamentally understand a problem and why the problem occurred (The goal is to understandnot only technically why it occurred but why the technical errors were not discovered andcorrected.); 3. Engage in critical thinking and analysis to identify what technical error(s)occurred and to try to determine what system error(s) existed that allowed the technical error togo undetected, and finally, logically analyze the case to determine what personal errors weremade by the people involved in the case; 4.

widely used approach in qualitative research, was used in this study toidentify, analyze, and report patterns within data [26]. As described by Braun and Clarke [26],“[a] theme captures something important about the data in relation to the research question andrepresents some level of patterned response or meaning within the data set” (p. 82).Data coding: ATLAS.ti was the platform used for this study to generate, and organize the codes.After verbatim transcription, the data was systematically coded. In particular, we identified partsof the texts where participants referred to particular events and stories related to ethics andequity. Then, we developed codes for each identified story to capture the main issue(s) that wereraised. This was done by
importance, but did not studythe actual use of these collections or services. For example, while 69% of faculty in their studyindicated that library databases were important or very important, there was no correspondingassessment of these faculty members' actual use of library databases.A multi-institution interview study organized by Ithaka S+R of civil and environmentalengineering faculty found that researchers preferred to use Google and Google Scholar for arange of information needs including finding datasets, gray literature, and scholarly articles(Cooper et al., 2019). Similarly, in an interview-based study with early career life sciences andengineering faculty at a single institution, researchers found that faculty in their study

Here, students can choose more than one response as wellas type their own if none of the options provided make sense for them.

Examples of explicit andimplicit math integration in a PLTW course follow.Example 1: Excerpt illustrating explicit integration of math with engineering In this example two students are discussing the design of their project, aballistic device, with their instructor: S: ((At the same time)) Different, different angles. S: A protractor sitting here. With a string with a weight on it. So as you tip it it'll that'll tell you what degree you're tipping it. T: I like that. That's nice.

My hypothesis was that a higher
what was going on because he wasn’t telling us directly what we needed to do but instead bringing up more questions for us, and more problems to solve.” • All students interviewed found the DMM beneficial to the project. “Those meetings gave us direction, he would mention things that we had forgotten and stuff like that, with his way of asking questions about stuff we said.” “just getting [coach]’s feedback was beneficial. Finding out like if what we came up with Page 22.635.8 on our own was a good idea or if we missed something.” • Students expressed that they appreciated the coach asking difficult
multi-faceted, multidisciplinaryengineering issues. They are then asked to determine the most important problem/s and todiscuss stakeholders, impacts, unknowns, and possible solutions. Table 2 presents a summary ofsample scenarios, and Appendix B provides three full scenarios with instructional prompts. TheEPS Rubric, an analytic rubric, was developed to measure the extent to which studentperformance in response to a given scenario achieved the six learning outcomes associated with Page 22.38.2the ABET professional skills. This method is flexible, easy to implement, and can be used at the course level for teaching and measuring engineering
and may offer insights into their futuretrajectory. STEM students and faculty thinking about their career trajectories (e.g. whether topursue a job in a research university vs. bachelor’s only institution in light of balancing withfamily responsibilities) may also benefit from the findings of this study.Our data come from the National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF). NSOPF includesfaculty member and institutional data. Our dataset for this study contains data from 1993 and2004, which is the last year the NSOPF was administered. These two years were selectedbecause FMLA was passed in 1993. NSOPF 1993's data collection started in 1992 and cantherefore serve as a baseline of the patterns of policy distribution before FMLA’simplementation

,students must be enrolled in the section that meets over the entirety of the semester.This course originated as a seven-week course, focused on providing students who had earned anexperiential learning grant the opportunity to use that experience to consider their personalleadership development and speak about their experience(s) externally. The course was extendedto the full semester, with additional topics added, in order to meet the professionalismrequirement for four majors. The first seven weeks of the course give students the opportunity toreflect on their experiences through a leadership lens and prepare to tell their story. The full termcourse provides students additional opportunities to build mentorship relationships, look at
