As engineering education research matures, engineering education researchers seek to answer increasingly complex questions rooted in social situations, such as “What is engineering in various communities?” and “How does engineering work happen at various stages of professional development?” The desire to ask such questions leads the community to develop or incorporate diverse methods that help the community to answer the complex question. The purpose of this paper is to present to the engineering education community an introduction to domain analysis, an ethnographic method developed within anthropology designed to answer these complex questions.
RIFE presents at the ENE Research Seminar
We had a great time talking about our research with the ENE research seminar audience. Thanks to everyone who came out to see us, thanks to the group for presenting, and thanks to folks who brought food for snack!
Here are our slides on Slideshare, but admittedly without the cool animation part. (Sorry – Slideshare has its limits, we guess…)
