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

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

Now, in Year 2, the FLC is focused on translatingpedagogical practices from literature and other resources into particular courses. This cohort hasexperienced some adjustments as some faculty leave the FLC and new faculty choose to join theFLC.

Embodying these traitsand reflecting on them has the function of shaping both, their subjective and objective identities,as perceived by others [6]. The first question was asking about what these children thought thetraits of an engineer to be, and the second part of the question was about which of these traits didthe children display while engaging with the kits. A discussion follows below of the moreprominent responses. Realistic Thinking. Realistic thinking was one of the traits that was recognized asimportant for engineers.

At thebeginning of the semester, assignments focused on ethics, teaming, how to do a literature reviewand document research, and other preliminary topics. Students wanted to dive right into theresearch rather than completing training and pre-research activities. Additionally, journalassignments requested that students reflect on their experiences weekly. Engineering students arenot accustomed to

As the industry continues to expand and there is a greater need forcommunication and leadership abilities in the 21st century, engineers who are working areanticipated to possess both technical expertise and professional skills. However, the typicalchemical engineering undergraduate core curriculum has not adapted to prepare students for themultiple needs encompassed by the chemical industry.
