Engineering Education  \nADITYA JOHRI  \nGeorge Mason University Fairfax, VA  \nSEUNGWON YANG Louisiana State University Baton Rouge, LA  \nAND  \nMIHAELA VORVOREANU AND  \nKRISHNA MADHAVAN Purdue University West Lafayette, IN  \nABSTRACT  \nAs part of our NSF funded collaborative project on Data Sharing within Engineering Education Community, we conducted an empirical study to better understand the current climate of data sharing and participants’ future expectations of the field. We present findings of this mixed method study and discuss implications. Overall, we found strong support for sharing research data within the community but participants were cautious about ethical and privacy implications, as well as issues around ownership of data. Participants expressed the need for an easy to use system to support sharing research data.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nWe conducted a small mixed-method study consisting of a survey and interviews to better understand the culture of data sharing within the engineering education community. Our goals were to get some basic idea of what engineering education community members think about data sharing, what are the existing practices, and what expectations do community members have for the  \nSPRING 2016 1  \nADVANCES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION  \nPerceptions and Practices of Data Sharing in Engineering Education  \nfuture. Results from such a study has significant implications for the design and development of a data sharing infrastructure for engineering education that places the requirements of the larger community at the center of the infrastructure design process. Our findings confirm many commonly held notions in the community about data sharing. For example, there is recognition that there is very little data sharing in our community. There is also a consensus that it is hard to share qualitative data. Surprisingly, we found quite a bit of support for more data sharing.  \nIn the interviews we conducted, members of the engineering education community expressed a lot of interest in sharing their data and using others’ data as well. Results also indicate a great interest in helping the community move towards more data sharing. From our conversations with community members and from our own experiences, we were aware that data sharing is minimal within the community, especially at larger scales, even though some data is shared among collaborators. Our aim with the research study was to get better insights into the current state of data sharing in engineering education and what needs to be done if data sharing is to be supported.  \nDATA COLLECTION  \nSurvey  \nWe adopted a survey instrument from Tenopir et al. (2011)1. We included most of the items they used, but also adapted many for the engineering education community. It is important to note that this survey was originally designed for use in the natural sciences. We publicized the survey instrument primarily to one sub-community of American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE)  \n– Educational Research and Methods (ERM) division – through their mailing list. We had a total of 32 responses of which 27 responses were usable. We discuss details of the survey demographics in the next section on survey findings.  \nInterviews  \nIn their survey responses we asked respondents to provide us with an email address if they wish to be contacted for a follow-up interview. 15 respondents provided their email addresses and we conducted interviews with 6 participants. Since the survey responses were stored separately from the email addresses, we did not correlate the survey and interview responses.  \n1 Link to survey instrument: doi:10 .1371/journal. pone.0021101. s001  \n2 SPRING 2016  \nADVANCES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION  \nPerceptions and Practices of Data Sharing in Engineering Education  ","cbCaivsvVe2zr1QO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivsvVe2zr1QO","pdf",736656,25,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Data Collection\n## Survey\n## Interviews\n# Survey Findings\n## Demographic Information\n## Research Affiliation","[{\"question\":\"What does the study aim to understand about data sharing in engineering education?\",\"answer\":\"It investigates the current climate of data sharing and participants’ future expectations, including existing practices, perceptions, and needs for infrastructure design.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the overall attitude toward sharing research data among participants?\",\"answer\":\"Participants show strong support for sharing research data, indicating interest in moving toward more data sharing.\"},{\"question\":\"What concerns affect participants’ willingness to share data?\",\"answer\":\"Participants are cautious about ethical and privacy implications and about issues related to ownership of data.\"}]","Perceptions and Practices of Data Sharing in Engineering Education | PDF",1792065723,63]
