We posed an open-ended reflection question to engineering undergraduates at a largeUS university about their classroom surroundings and its impact on their learning andcomprehension. The reflection prompt defined surroundings as the “conditions and objects thatsurround you.” This reflection question was part of an NSF-funded study on the use of weeklyreflection in a flipped fluid mechanics course to drive metacognitive development and lifelonglearning skills. During class, students were encouraged to collaborate with their peers duringproblem solving to achieve collective understanding and interact with the instructor. Based on aninductive, emergent content analysis of the reflection data with two analysts, we

All core and elective courses were assessed forgaps, redundancies, and bottlenecks, and the curriculum was redesigned – except one non-lecture-based or lab-based course, namely the high-impact engineering course required byTAMU’s College of Engineering. The learning outcomes are stated as: “Upon successfulcompletion of this course, students will be able to (a) reflect on professional outcomes from theengineering body of knowledge and (b) assess learning experiences.” The intent of high-impactcourses is to ensure that students have the opportunity outside the formal classroom setting todevelop essential and professional skills such as communication, problem-solving, organization

ThePIM contains five activities, including watching videos about cultural diversity and empathy,survey, quizzes, and exercise that applies learning towards intercultural collaboration. The studentsin the system thinking course were asked to complete the PIM and a reflection assignment.

However, little is known about howstudents' reflections, motivation and self-directed learning are related within engineering context.In this study, data from the students' responses to surveys were analyzed to determine theassociation among the variables of interest. The calculated Pearson correlation coefficient fromthe data shows that self-assessment components of self-reflection, positive perception of self-assessment, and intrinsic motivation have strong significant correlations. Both motivationvariables of task value and control belief have a medium to high correlation with the self-assessment

Akin to critical pedagogy datingback to Dewey and Paulo Freire or critical theory associated with the Frankfurt school, criticalnarratives encourage students to think of power dynamics. Critical also relates to thinking aboutmoral judgment, when moral judgment is defined as issues related to fairness and justice [4].Narrative because if students are going to transfer the problem-solving skills they gained in theclassroom to considering their impact on a variety of stakeholders, they need an intervention thatgoes beyond the traditional case study or a module built around memorizing

Introduction of this workshop was motivated by the significant roleGTAs play in implementing teaching change in the large courses targeted by the project (e.g.,leading recitations and labs) and the need for GTAs to have structured professional developmentbefore the semester begins. In the early years of the project, GTAs met semi-regularly withintheir departments during the semester

consider the diversity of learning styles [7] that exist within this population. Learningstyles according to Felder and Silverman [8] are preferences in the way one learns that can bedefined in four dimensions: Active-Reflective, Sensing-Intuitive, Visual-Verbal and Sequential-Global. Some research suggests that a good way to understand differences in individuals to supportclassroom learning is through the understanding of each person’s learning style [9]. It is noted thatlearning styles are not necessarily the only way that students can learn, but suggest theirpreferences in learning. Research also suggests that if the teaching style of teachers and learningstyles of students match, learning can best be achieved [10]. Among literature on

Engineering design notebooks are gaining attention by instructors tointegrate their facilitation (structured, semi-structured or open) and reflections, as thenotebook serves the dual purpose of learning and assessment. The notebook (product orprocess-focused) is intended to record the thoughts, design iterations, and research conductedby students, while the instructors are able to assess student progress in a formative and/orsummative manner.While the structure can vary significantly, we can make an important distinction betweenprocess- and product-based
