curriculum, an increased responsibility for self-directed learning is highly desirable. Students about to embark on a career must independently beable to meet professional development demands in a rapidly changing engineering environment.Students who arrive in class with assigned reading completed, notes reviewed, and prepared forclassroom activities are developing the ability to be self-directed learners. Limited classroomcontact time can be much more effectively utilized by focusing on concepts and applicationsidentified by students as needing further review and explanation.

, someresearchers have begun to address this issue. A research brief by the Southern RegionalEducation Board (SREB) matched PLTW participants with career and technical educationstudents with similar demographics and fields of study. SREB found that PLTW students whoenrolled in two or more PLTW courses did significantly better in mathematics and science on theHigh Schools that Work (HSTW) assessment than career/technical students in comparable fields(Bottoms & Anthony, 2005). Differences between PLTW students and similar career/technicalstudents were also found for subsequent course-taking behavior, with PLTW students morelikely to complete the four years of mathematics and science (Bottoms & Uhn, 2007).

To explore the similarities and differences in these disciplines as perceived bystudents, a Body of Knowledge (BOK2) survey was distributed to senior students as part of thelifelong learning module in the three separate capstone design courses. Students were asked torank the American Society of Civil Engineers’ (ASCE) 24 BOK2 outcomes from most to leastimportant to their future careers.

In learning to explain topics, the assistants often reveal their own misunderstandings and are able to expand on their own knowledge.
