effort was lost, due in part to unintentionallack of institutional support.Fifteen years later, facing the challenges of financial shifts, changing perspectives aboutuniversities, new competition from for-profit and online universities, and changes in student andparent expectations, Mines organized committees and began a formal strategic planning process.Through this process the faculty and staff agreed that there was a need for greater emphasis onteaching and learning. The plan identified four goals for the university. Explicit within three ofthe four goals was a call for a center to provide the leadership and support to innovate instructionsystemically.Faculty were asked to submit proposals to begin efforts to meet the goals set forth in the

The final step of thisactivity was to have faculty identify specific changes that they could make to their own teachingto improve student learning. The end of the workshop concluded with a discussion of the largerRED project and plans for future NEXUS workshops.

Furthermore, a set of rubrics is used for each PI so that the raters employconsistent criteria when an article from the same student is being evaluated. Action itemsgenerated from different raters are then summarized as a report and feedback to the programdirector or chair to take corrective actions for improvement. The program director or chair maythen choose to disseminate or generate sub-action items for faculty to act on or to change thecurriculum as a result.

A key to SRL is that the “learner displays personal initiative, perseverance,and adaptive skill” when pursuing her learning14. Further features of SRL includestudents’ “self-oriented feedback loops” and the students’ choices of learning processes,strategies, and responses14. Key components in SRL are planning, goal setting, strategyselection, environmental monitoring, help seeking, and maintaining a sense of self-efficacy12.Whereas metacognition covers all aspects of the person, tasks, and strategies from boththe knowledge of and process using domains, self-regulated learning is more focused onusing

This focus and investment has allowed us to reexamine the gap coursesand identify areas for enhancement. Efforts are currently underway to transition those coursesfrom traditional lecture-based courses to competency-based courses. While we expect the moveto competency-based graduate courses to be a large undertaking, we expect the gap course effortto be minimal since the courses had already been modularized

Users working on existing models do not need to understand the modelingstrategy used to create the model, and do not need to search through the feature tree toidentify specific feature parameters in order to make a change to the geometry. The directmodeling approach facilitates quickness and responsiveness-to-change, making it an idealapproach where speed and flexibility are important3. Due to the absence of the history tree, models created using the direct modelingapproach exhibit greater interoperability.
