Student engagement was at the low and medium levels of the three metacognitivestrategies.Keywords: junior, reflection, metacognition, qualitativeI. IntroductionLifelong learning is one of the desired employability skills in today's job market. Forinstance, consider the technologies with which engineering work. The continuous evolutionof technology that results in the replacement of existing devices with new devices poses newchallenges and opportunities for engineers [1]. Working with new devices requires newknowledge and skillsets. To keep pace

evolution is not without barriers to entry andassociated risks.The objective of this paper is to share the experiences of three established civil engineeringfaculty and their mentor who are within two years of receiving their first NSF grants to supportEER projects at their home institution. Barriers to entry, challenges, and the lessons learnedassociated with their growth as emerging engineering education researchers are discussed.Strategies and resources are provided to assist new engineering educators to: lobby forinstitutional support, secure initial extramural funding, initiate collaborations, formulate short-and long-term career plans, build an Individual Development Plan (IDP), and develop aneffective mentor-mentee relationship with an

The module content comprises sustainable designs, performance indicators,strategies, etc.[7] . Sustainable manufacturing can be categorized into four; Responsive ProductStrategy (RPS), Lean Practices (LP), Supply Chain Restructuring (SCR), and SustainableMaterial and Design [8]. Considering the possible effects of environmental issues on a business'soperations, financial performance, and reputation, as well as incorporating this knowledge intodecision-making and planning processes, constitutes integrating environmental risk intocorporate strategy. This may involve recognizing and evaluating environmental hazards

-sponsored health insurance, and79% reported having a retirement plan through their employer, showing more engineers’ salariesand benefits continue to increase in the U.S [5].On the other side, engineering educators are needed to teach, support, and mentor the growingnumber of engineering students. Engineering educators often are Ph.D. holders who are expertsin various engineering subdisciplines. However, engineering graduate students have fewerteaching-related professional development opportunities than students in other STEM subjects[6]. In other words, although experts in their respective fields, new engineering educators areoften not education nor engineering education experts. Existing opportunities for professionaldevelopment in teaching often

It is a group of professors who allteach engineering labs and have a strong interest in improving their students’ writing skills andlaboratory reports. The participants described above volunteered to participate and receivedfunding to attend the first meeting of the CoP. This community plans to meet annually to shareideas and support each other’s efforts to improve engineering writing.The first meeting took place face-to-face on the campus of Washington State

the student’s time and recognizing that myclass is not the only thing they have going on. To demonstrate this core value, I inform studentsthat I set a timer for myself every class period that will go off when the class is scheduled to end.And no matter how critical the thought is that I am sharing at that moment, I stop class so theycan move on to their next activity. This practice serves two purposes. First, it significantlyreduced the shuffling students would do in the last 10 minutes of class, typically intended toremind the instructor that the period was ending. Second, it increases the likelihood that studentswill have time to come up and ask questions right after class.Office hoursI do not plan office hours to check off a box. This is

the student starts to have problems completing the work, then you can either (a) help them or (b) you know that the student is not what you expected. If you give a new student a project that you don't know how to complete, then you don't know if it is the student or the problem.He also advises asking this question: “‘and how will you evaluate that?’ There are lots of greatresearch ideas, but if we can't evaluate it, we can't get a paper published on it.”Be sure to talk with your student and set goals for each year they are in the graduate program.An Individual Development Plan (IDP) can be used [Marcus 2016]. This involves identifyingcareer goals, assessing one’s own knowledge, and discussing how to overcome weaknesses

technological tools andbeing attentive to updates of those technological advances. These are very important since thesuccess of these resources in learning depends on their practical and appropriate use.Maybe the most advanced and established program in instructor training for COILexperiences in the world is the agenda of the Suny COIL Center of the Purchase Collegecampus at the State University of New York. This program was a pioneer and initiallydeveloped a COIL Course Orientation (CCO) of 5 weeks, introducing COIL designs and aseries of recommendations about what works and what does not in COIL [18]. In addition,this same center offers diverse training options for developing a COIL course for customizedor group online classes, support for planning

Engineering Connect,was designed for the first-year students in an engineering department with the idea of increasingstudent success, engagement, and retention. The program was implemented into a CornerstoneEngineering Design course being offered for first-year students in the engineering department.The students were assigned to complete weekly reflections on the course Canvas space onmatters related to their learning and campus experiences as an engineering student. The inputsfrom these weekly reflections were analyzed by faculty each week and an engagement plan wasset in place with the students who were identified as needing help and guidance on courseworkand/or campus related matters. Also, the students having a successful week were

How do you communicate with someone who is SY? - Toeffectively communicate with a systematic person, avoid small talk about personal matters. Itis critical not to rush and to give the person time and space to think about the situation athand. Because the systematic communicator is likely to be skeptical of what you say, beprepared to provide detailed answers backed up by precise data. Also

The students were from engineering (1biomedical, 1 chemical, and 3 mechanical) and engineering technology majors (1 mechanicalengineering technology and 5 electrical and computer engineering technology). The course isbeing planned to run on a yearly basis.Preliminary FeedbackA mid-semester one-question feedback survey was run asking students what is the mostimportant/valuable thing they have learned in this course so far. Table 2 below summarizes theresults. There were three themes observed, namely Python programming, 3D modeling, anddesigning prototypes and making which match with the

They implemented theproject in the chemical engineering’s “Unit Operations Lab”.

instructor and student benefit.Plans for Future Research The results of this pilot study represent one semester’s worth of research across threecourses. Much more data is needed to be able to statistically support the preliminary observationsmade here, and to expand the level of detail of information captured by the survey. An attemptwas made to collect additional data in the fall 2022 semester. Unfortunately, due to thePI/instructor having fewer courses suited to a HyFlex format and a delay in the IRB process forthat semester, only one additional response was collected. Plans are in place to administer thesurvey in all relevant courses taught by the PI/instructor through spring 2024, and perhapsbeyond depending on the findings from these
