Engineering Education Overview of the Presentation Introduction Lessons from the Ethnography Creating the Instrument Recommendations for Survey Researchers Future Work

Engineering Education Introduction of the Study The overall purpose of this study is to investigate the role of international diversity in graduate engineering research groups Sequential Exploratory Mixed Methods Study QUAL  QUAN Ethnography  Survey QUANT Data Analysis Mixing of Qualitative and Quantitative Results Data Collection QUANT Results QUAL  QUAN QUAL Data Analysis QUAL Results Discussion of Mixing

Engineering Education Lessons from the Ethnography Conceptual Understanding Cultural Considerations Hypothesis Formulation Results from the ethnographic observations and interviews were used to increase the validity of the instrument. What did this tell us?

Engineering Education Creating the Instrument Develop Questions Operationalize variables Customize question wording for a diverse population Develop Hypotheses Map constructs to individual questions Interviews and Observations ConstructsHypotheses Individual Questions

Engineering Education Creating the Instrument “I am in the minority in my research group” “I value the international diversity of my research group” “I am comfortable speaking up during research group meetings” Some examples of Likert questions added to the instrument:

Engineering Education Recommendations for Survey Researchers Relation of research question to variables you can measure Existing literature base Timeline and level of access to participants Diversity of the population Factors to consider when choosing a qualitative method:
