The Methodological Promise of Narrative Inquiry for Exploring Student Veteran and Service Member Experience as "People in Relation"

Abstract

USU) and a registered professional mechanical engineer. Her research examines issues of access, diversity, and inclusivity in engineering education. In particular, she is interested in engineering identity, problem-solving, and the intersections of online learning and alternative pathways for adult, nontraditional, and veteran undergraduates in engineering.

Narrative Inquiry in Engineering Education: A Systematic Literature Review

“…We decided to include all three papers in our analysis, as each presented results from different interviews and answered different research questions. Similarly, Minichiello [27,[35][36] has been associated with a few high impact works in this field, but all three of her works were included due to her use of different samples and populations of interest.…”

Board 230: CAREER: ‘Support our Troops’: Re-storying Student Veteran and Service Member Deficit in Engineering through Professional Formation and Community Advocacy—Year 2

“…Audio-recorded data transcription (using Trint web-based software) and transcription verification and deidentification are conducted soon after data is generated and data analysis via constant comparative analysis is ongoing. Emerging themes about institutional agent perspectives of current limitations to SVSM support in engineering that were developed from the interview data are presented as Awareness vs Action, Ground Up vs Top Down, and Time and Resources and described in a paper published in the 2022 ASEE Annual Conference proceedings [9].…”

“…Our dissemination of research products for a variety of audiences interested in SVSM issues is ongoing. In Year 1 we published/presented four conference papers [9,10,11,15] and one standalone conference presentation [16]. In Year 2, we have submitted two conference papers for publication/presentation [14,17], have one book chapter accepted [18], and have one journal paper in progress.…”

“…Year 1 publications and presentations toward research plan goals were focused on postsecondary education, student affairs, human resource development, and engineering education audiences as described in [9] and summarized below:…”
