students were somewhat less motivated, and came with lessthan adequate science and math background. This student diversity made it a major challenge todesign the course content in a way that can be attractive to both populations. In addition, sectionsizes were very large (80-90 students in each) and the instructor’s interaction with students waslimited. As a result, mentoring and active learning opportunities were less than ideal.A large body of literature exists on the freshman experience. Based on existing research and ourprevious experiences with the course, plans were made to adopt the team teaching modelsuccessfully implemented at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Instead of usingadjunct faculty to teach the course, a team

processes as a means of deepening their understanding2, 5, 6. Cunningham et al.1highlight the two broad categories of metacognition explored in the literature: knowledge ofcognition (including understanding people, tasks, and strategies) and regulation of cognition(including planning, monitoring, controlling, and evaluating one’s own practices in learning anddoing). In our study, we focus on students’ knowledge of engineering tasks and theircorresponding ability to effectively monitor their task performance. To do so, we look at writing-to-learn (WTL) and reflective practice strategies as tools to both support and evaluate students’monitoring capabilities.Writing-to-LearnThe Writing-to-Learn (WTL) movement began in the 1980s in the wake of Emig’s

more than others, hands-on experience is an essential element of learning. Inengineering, many concepts simply cannot be fully taught in a lecture hall or out of a textbook.The teaching of these concepts requires the development of a supplement to the textbook, whichdemonstrates the interplay between basic electromagnetic theory and engineering practice.5 Inthe long term, the plan is to create a laboratory component for EE 330 in which the students willspend two hours every week complementing what they have learned in lecture and practiced inhomework problems with hands-on experience using current tools and technology to solve real-world problems. In the short term, two new hands-on laboratory activities have been created tocompliment the four

The subjects stated two reasons for these change in plans. First that for thecareer field they had chosen to enter, an advanced degree was not necessary and/or was notparticularly useful. The added fear that turning down a job offer to instead attend graduate schoolwould account for a lost opportunity with that employer in the future was cited as an additionalreason for a change in academic and career plans.Not surprisingly, full-time subjects all agreed that their previous co-op experiences specificallyhelped eased the transition to full-time employment as an engineer

Students indicated their mainmotivation to take RC1 was that it was a core course necessary to complete their primary/secondary specialization.
