process. - Tell me about what you perceived to be the biggest failure you experienced during your entrepreneurial journey. - Tell me about other experiences you had during your entrepreneurial journey that at the time they occurred you perceived to be failures?These questions allowed each of the study participants to define entrepreneurial failure based ontheir own experiences as opposed to responding about their experiences based on an externallydefined definition of failure.Data analysis:The data analysis is still ongoing. However, multiple forms of data analysis have beenconducted thus far. First, open-coding has been conducted with two members of the researchteam, which included the first author and two undergraduate

, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York Jutshi Agarwal is a Postdoctoral Associate with the Department of Engineering Education at the University at Buffalo. She was the first doctoral student to get a Ph.D. in Engineering Education from the University of Cincinnati. She also has a Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Cincinnati and a Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering from SRM University, India. Her research areas of interest are graduate student professional development for a career in academia, preparing future faculty, and using AI tools to solve non-traditional problems in engineering education. She is currently also furthering work on the agency of engineering
is likely ideal. For example, Kiley18used interviews and surveys (content analysis) to triangulate the results of the investigation. As itis difficult to quantify the identification process, the approaches in the literature have beenpredominately qualitative.4,19Content AnalysisThe overarching technique of content analysis involves interpreting and coding written material.One could conduct an analysis of the various assessments used in the course, the overall textbook,or open-ended responses to student or faculty surveys. As an example of faculty surveys, Kiley18surveyed twenty-six doctoral supervisors across eleven universities to identify threshold concepts.Content analysis, while potentially useful, does not appear to be method that is

After obtaining his Ph.D. in 2008, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Utrecht University (The Netherlands) prior to returning to UK, where he now holds the positions of Program Manager at CAER and Adjunct Assistant Professor at the De- partment of Chemistry. His current research focuses on the application of heterogeneous catalysis to the production of renewable fuels and chemicals, with emphasis on the upgrading of algae and waste oils to drop-in hydrocarbon fuels. His synergistic activities include participating in a number of K-20 educational
interviews was designed to understandstudents’ background and pathways into engineering. The second round of interviews involvedasking the students to complete a journey map to guide the interview focused on understandingtheir identity trajectory. This journey map documented the “high points” and “low points” of astudent’s experiences over the previous semester and was used as a reflective tool and datacollection artifact to guide the narrative interviews. The third round of interviews continues to usejourney maps and students’ stories to understand their development in engineering.The interviews were used to develop “restoryed” case summaries. A restoryed case summary is ashort version of each student’s pathway and highlights. In addition to these
