Additionally,several senior administrators unfamiliar with engineering education did not understand why theCollege of Engineering would house engineering education instead of the College of Education andHuman Development.

arrive at many higher education institutions where these structures have been removed and expectations have shifted to self-directed learning outside of the classroom, initial struggle and sometimes failure become highly probable. There is limited evidence of teaching engineering students discipline-specific metacognitive strategies. A recent study conducted using modelling and coaching of discipline-specific metacognitive strategies in an introductory computer science course using peer tutors, showed that encouraging students to implement these learning strategies had a significant impact on their ability to apply knowledge to programming problems and also had long-term effects on students' future course outcomes.25 Two of the authors have also

These objectives include instruction in ethical responsibility, engineeringsolutions in a global context, and contemporary issues5. SL has documented effectiveness for instructionin related ideas including effective learning of sustainability6, broadened
