Abstract:
In this research-to-practice paper we provide the context for our research and review our process for conducting our engineering innovativeness factor analysis using Bayesian statistical approaches rather than using the traditional principal components analysis (PCA). Our purpose in discussing this analysis approach is to demonstrate that we found the Bayesian analysis approach to be a superior way to refine factors and reduce survey items when developing our instrument for assessment of engineering innovativeness characteristics.
