NASA/DOD Aerospace Knowledge Diffusion Research Project. Paper 64: Culture and Workplace Communications: A Comparison of the Technical Communications Practices of Japanese and US Aerospace Engineers and Scientists

The advent of global markets elevates the role and importance of culture as a mitigating factor in the diffusion of knowledge and technology and in product and process innovation. This is especially true in the large commercial aircraft (LCA) sector where the production and market aspects are becoming increasingly international. As firms expand beyond their national borders, using such methods as risk-sharing partnerships, joint ventures, outsourcing, and alliances, they have to contend with national and corporate cultures. Our focus is on Japan, a program participant in the production of the Boeing Company's 777. The aspects of Japanese culture and workplace communications will be examined: 1.) the influence of Japanese culture on the diffusion of knowledge and technology in aerospace at the national and international levels; 2.) those cultural determinants-the propensity to work together, a willingness to subsume individual interests to a greater good, and an emphasis on consensual decision making-that have a direct bearing on the ability of Japanese firms to form alliances and compete in international markets; 3.) and those cultural determinants thought to influence the information-seeking behaviors and workplace communication practices of Japanese aerospace engineers and scientists. In this article, we report selective results from a survey of Japanese and U.S. aerospace engineers and scientists that focused on workplace communications. Data are presented for the following topics: importance of and time spent communicating information, collaborative writing, need for an undergraduate course in technical communication, use of libraries, use and importance of electronic (computer) networks, and the use and importance of foreign and domestically produced technical reports

Understanding STEM Learning Outcomes Using A Phenomenographic Approach

Today’s STEM professionals are called upon to meet the nation’s technical challenges with innovative technologies that push the boundaries of our current understanding and practices. While the total number of STEM graduates may be sufficient for the number of STEM jobs, many lack the specific competencies needed for practice, suggesting that science and engineering graduates may not be adequately prepared for careers in the STEM fields (U.S. Joint Economic Committee, 2012). Using a phenomenographical approach, the researcher interviewed 18 STEM professionals to understand the qualitatively different ways in which they gained the technical and professional competencies needed to be successful engineers and scientists. As students, each of the participants in the study participated in some type of experiential learning such as a problem-based learning class, makerspace, internship, or research. The study utilized Experiential Learning Theory and Social Cognitive Career Theory as the theoretical frameworks. The study did not directly assess the four stages of Kolb and Fry’s Experiential Learning Theory (Kolb & Fry, 1975), however, the analysis of the interviews confirmed that hands-on experiences result in improved technical and self-directed learning skills as described in the literature. Results of the study indicate that a wide range of relevant, hands-on experiences can improve a student’s ability to use math, science and engineering principles, problem-solve, and locate, organize and analyze data from multiple sources. In addition to internships, these types of experiences can take a variety of forms such as problem-based learning courses, makerspaces, research projects, design projects, and student clubs. However, the study also shows that some knowledge, skills and behaviors are only gained in the workplace or from background, contextual influences such as parents, siblings, sports teams, or scouts. Social Cognitive Career Theory contributed to the understanding of how participants learned the skills and competencies needed for practice. While useful, this model was insufficient and results of the study led to the development of a three-phase Social Cognitive Experiential Learning Model that describes how learning environments, types of problems, and interactions with others contribute to the learning process. Results of the study have implications for both academia and industry

Collaborative yet independent: Information practices in the physical sciences

In many ways, the physical sciences are at the forefront of using digital tools and methods to work with information and data. However, the fields and disciplines that make up the physical sciences are by no means uniform, and physical scientists find, use, and disseminate information in a variety of ways. This report examines information practices in the physical sciences across seven cases, and demonstrates the richly varied ways in which physical scientists work, collaborate, and share information and data. This report details seven case studies in the physical sciences. For each case, qualitative interviews and focus groups were used to understand the domain. Quantitative data gathered from a survey of participants highlights different information strategies employed across the cases, and identifies important software used for research. Finally, conclusions from across the cases are drawn, and recommendations are made. This report is the third in a series commissioned by the Research Information Network (RIN), each looking at information practices in a specific domain (life sciences, humanities, and physical sciences). The aim is to understand how researchers within a range of disciplines find and use information, and in particular how that has changed with the introduction of new technologies
