teaching programming using SLA was helpful to their learning. Students whohave a second language learning experience especially confirmed this during the interview.Students indicated more engagement with the online interactive video, compared to the topicsthat were presented in a traditional non-interactive format. The captions in the videos helpstudents understand the specific terms. Music does not play an important role in the videodesign. They pointed out that the tiered examples in the videos and tiered quiz questions easedtheir anxiousness and helped their comprehension of the materials. Students expressed a desire toflip all topics to SLA-aBLe format. Students also commented on the laboratory sessions,indicating that the “think, pair, share

Additionally, the project instilled anew level of confidence in my ability to work independently, communicate with a projectmanager, and ultimately formulate an industry relevant process while gaining significantengineering knowledge and skills. This confidence and its corresponding skills helped me to landa product design engineering internship with a medical device company, developing tissuesimulating, multimodality phantoms for the medical imaging industry.Professor’s ReflectionThis study is a good example for a student driven project.

The project was sponsored by an officefurniture company looking to bring a new line of “impromptu” seating options to market.Students worked individually on their designs and met informally with the instructor (Gary)during a 6-hour studio session each week. Students could also use a fabrication laboratory tobuild prototypes. Most design reviews occurred in the student workspace – a busy classroomspace with two back-to-back rows of tables with multiple computer displays and workspace foreach student (often cluttered with sketches, foam models, and other objects). There were fivedesign reviews: (1) a one-on-one review at the front of the room where students laid outpreliminary concept sketches to discuss

The course addressesonly the math topics used in core engineering courses such as physics, engineering mechanics,electric circuits and computer programming sequences. Using an application-oriented, hands-onproblem-based learning approach, it replaced traditional math prerequisite requirements for theaforementioned core courses in order for students to advance in the curriculum without firstcompleting a traditional first-year calculus sequence.

One of its major recommendations was to improvestudent education in information retrieval and the use of literature. Noting that some disciplines,notably chemistry, did require students to take courses on using the literature, engineers “receivevirtually no training in literature techniques, and they

metacognitive constructs assessed arelimited to those few that are easily attributable (Van Hout-Wolters, 2000).An additional challenge with all of the methods described herein is that such assessments formetacognition are generally for research purposes and in many cases are conducted inmanufactured laboratory settings and on inauthentic problems. While helpful for developing ourunderstanding of metacognition, its function, and its development, we need assessments that aidthe metacognitive development of our students. While we have grounded our metacognitiveindicators and their interpretations in current metacognitive assessment literature and practice,the indicators are designed specifically for aiding instructor judgements of student artifacts
