Reflective Observation, where the learner reflects on theexperience, comparing it with their existing knowledge and noting any discrepancies. Throughthis reflection, the process moves to Abstract Conceptualization, where the learner develops anew idea or modifies an existing concept based on what they have learned. Finally, in ActiveExperimentation, the learner applies these newly formed or adjusted concepts to real-worldscenarios to observe the outcomes and further refine their understanding [6]. There is muchresearch available that associates the importance of experiential learning in capstone courses.McKim and Watson, provide examples of the successfully applying Kolb’s ExperientialLearning Cycle as a framework for designing and teaching their

Students in thecourse were required to attend one of six workshops led by student representatives fromengineering clubs and submit a reflection assignment about their experience for course credit.The primary goal of this pilot program was to decrease barriers to first-year participation in clubsby providing students with an incentivized, accessible, and highly organized opportunity toengage with these organizations. To evaluate the success of the pilot program, we consideredthree primary research questions: 1) What was the students’ perception of the mandatory workshop

Using a template fromOnStrategy [15], a strategic planning consulting firm, we followed a set of criteria: the visionshould represent at least five years into the future, provide a clear direction, be bold andambitious, and include high-reaching, descriptive assertions. We also remembered that themission and vision must align and work together seamlessly. This structured, reflective processwas intended to lead us to the first draft of our mission and vision statements that would guidethe next phase of discussion and iteration as we continued to define the identity and direction ofour office.2

Our analysis did not pinpoint the underlying cause(s) of these differences. Future teams ofstate standards writers may, therefore, find it useful to assess whether their standards reflect thecognitive complexity level that they deem most appropriate.
