Therefore,following an initial collection of background material by the Director of ProfessionalPractice and a presentation to the Professional Practice faculty governing committee, anad hoc committee consisting of several Associate Heads for Undergraduate Education, anAssistant Director for the College of Engineering’s Women in Engineering Program, andthe Director was formed. Additionally, the Directors of EPICS (Purdue’s servicelearning organization) and SURF (Purdue’s summer undergraduate research learningorganization) were consulted, along with some of the smaller departments’ accreditationcommittees and several Associate and Assistant Deans of the College of Engineering.This group reviewed the

A thematic analysis was completed on theseexperiences and impacts. The research design naturally produced two main themes: (1)entrepreneurship experiences and (2) impacts. The main experiences students decided to discusswere related to participating in funding competitions, developing their project, experiencingchallenges and failures, taking entrepreneurship classes, and networking. The main impacts thatwere discussed were related to the development of an entrepreneurial mindset, new knowledgeand skills, and modified personal and project goals.

Paper ID #23982A Low-cost Affordable Viscometer Design for Experimental Fluid ViscosityVerification and Drag Coefficient CalculationMr. Joseph Michael Derrick, Indiana University-Purdue University of Indianapolis I am a young professional engineer who has graduated from Purdue University in Indianapolis with a masters in Mechanical Engineering. It should also be noted that I also received my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from there as well. My graduate studies was focused in thermal/fluid sciences and sys- tems/controls. Currently, my interests lie in aerospace applications with an emphasis in space propulsion and
my new interests in graduateeducation. Hearing about their course work and projects, I became excited and desired to gainsimilar experiences, and the best way to do so would be through graduate school. From this experience I also came to realize that research skills are an invaluable part ofnot just a graduate education, but everyday life also. For example, no one would purchase a newcar without first researching such things as government crash test ratings, independent reviewsfrom such experts as Consumer Reports, and even review forums on the internet from everydaypeople who posses experience with the product. This summer, I learned the same is true ofresearching. You have to ensure that the sources you use are creditable either

Deductivecoding is not possible because existing theory or literature does not provide potential codes for theresearcher. In grounded theory, themes arise from codes and are used to develop a theory to explainthe phenomenon of interest. There are disagreements in the research community as to whethergrounded theory is a methodology (i.e., carries its own set of goals and values that affect theresearch design, research questions, data collection, data analysis, and interpretation), or whethergrounded theory at this point in time is simply a method of analyzing data that is synonymous withthe “constant comparative method” of data
