andrapidly diagnosing their conceptions of a situation. This study introduces an innovativeinstructional method, called “pseudo peer diagram” (PPD), where students compare andcontrast their work with others as a formative feedback mechanism. Fourteen studentswho graduated from the First Year Engineering Honors Program were asked to generatefree body diagrams to interpret equilibrium in the provided systems. PPDs werepresented to enable a direct comparison and to serve a metacognitive function forstudents who use them as feedback to practice and build up their own self-checkstrategies. In order to understand how individuals cognitively process PPDs, this studyused think-aloud protocol to make students’ cognition explicit.This study revealed several

Innovations in Software Engineering Education: An Experimental Study of Integrating Active Learning and Design-based LearningABSTRACTSignificant advancements have been made in engineering education in recent years. An importantoutcome of these advancements is the integration and extension of fundamental pedagogies as part ofengineering curricula, as well as the need for continued research into the effectiveness of thesepedagogies on students’ learning within engineering knowledge domains. In this paper, we focus on anengineering educational research study in the domain of software engineering. This study considers theimportant research question of the efficacy of traditional lecture-homework-project teaching approachescompared to peer-to

Information sourceswere restricted to peer-reviewed published work such as journal articles, conference proceedings,and books. Students were directed to use the main engineering digital databases EngineeringVillage or Compendex, which provide comprehensive coverage of literature in all engineeringfields. Unsupported assertions or claims were a basis of rejection or grade reduction of theproject grade. The attainment level of the lifelong learning competency was assessed using twoperformance indicators.
