Stefanou et al.’s framework, student autonomycan be promoted at three different levels: organizational, procedural, and cognitive. These threelevels include varying degree of student choice: organizational autonomy takes into account theenvironment (e.g., due dates), procedural autonomy incorporates form (e.g., deliverable form),and cognitive autonomy involves content (e.g., designing projects). This range of possible SDLexperiences allows for a wide interpretation of the role and value of SDL and student autonomyby both students and faculty. Using methods of grounded theory, three research questions wereaddressed: (a) How do the pedagogical practices in the first-year mathematics, physics, andengineering classes fit into Stefanou et al.’s

class titled “ENGR 1510Intensive Hands-on, Interactive Fluid Flow & Heat Transport” was focused on developingstudents’ intuition using videos, hands-on activities, lectures and discussions. It was made opento all engineering majors because a lot of engineering classes contain elements of FMHT, and thegrading policy adopted was a pass/fail (S/U) with course participation taking 50% of theweighting and the remaining 50% equally distributed between the class exercises and finalexamination.Given the context of this class, the researchers deemed it fit to ask questions in the form: Can thelearning in this class be deemed significant enough to prepare the students’ cognitively andaffectively for more learning?

For example, a designer whose capacity for sketchingis low might learn some basic drawing techniques to help bridge this (level) gap. Or, adesigner who tends to think tangentially may need to apply techniques that help him/her to“stay focused” (a different style) in order to solve a particular problem. Once again, werecognize the need for a systematic way to characterize design techniques, so the appropriatechoices can be made; we turn now to our development of such a classification scheme.3.

And the graphical portrayal of input and outputquantities makes it easy to detect many user errors. But what are educators doing to incorporatethis ubiquitous, increasingly inexpensive tool into basic engineering classes?The practice of embedding or integrating FEA into freshman design courses seems to have madean appearance in the 1990‟s, coincident with the movement to develop integrated freshmancurricula that include or emphasize design.
