, developing self-directed learningskills and solving problems of an authentic nature relates directly to the authentic activities andanchored instruction that are tied directly to situated learning. Similarly, in engineering learningenvironments students are expected to be able to engage in self-directed learning while reflectingon their experiences in preparation for lifelong learning [18]. One drawback to the implementationof this approach is that students will only involve themselves in the process as much as they feelcomfortable to. This is true for any of the three types of activities but more so with theinteractive activities that requires them to work alongside their peers. Consequently, instructorshave to be mindful of students’ individual

As a team we created an initial list of items,keeping in mind the desire for the survey to be completed in about 10 minutes.

However, I believe that the way the school system is currently set up, rote learning is rewarded favorably over conceptual learning. While a conceptual learning style would be favorable on exams if the concepts were allowed to be solidified in students' minds, 10-week terms packed to the brim with engineering work does not allow time for some conceptual learners to attain confidence with the concepts. These students are then quickly

While manyresearchers’ perceptions of how to improve engineering education stem from traditionalclassroom experiences, a select group of researchers belong to EER-oriented departments, labs,and research centers.

Either approach should lead to engineering graduates who arestronger adaptive experts.ConclusionThe importance of critical and reflective thinking in the field of engineering cannot be argued.The goal of developing adaptive experts who excel at thinking critically and reflectively is anadmirable and important goal in engineering education. Engineers with training in critical andreflective thinking should be more capable in the increasingly complex, global landscape andwill be more mindful of their impacts on society.
