. Student teams also presented their work to thecommunity partner. In addition to the final drawings and presentation, students were graded onan individual reflection paper about the design process and given peer evaluations to grade howthe team worked together. Because drafting classes (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit, Solidworks) arecommon among many engineering disciplines, this approach is seen as a model of how CE maybe incorporated easily into many engineering programs. In addition to explaining the coursedesign, this paper presents summative reflections from the professor, a community partner, andthe Center for Community Engagement coordinator about successes and failures with respect tothese projects.

These include activities such as constructing knowledge that is new to participant ornew to field, collaboration, testing ideas, and dissemination. Some codes reflect students’attitudes and beliefs, such as career goals or plans; challenges they faced when doing research;and aspects of mentoring or supervision. Other codes reflect aspects of students’ experiences,such as recognition, failure, gaining skills, or feeling a sense of gratification. These codes will beparticularly important for Phase III of this project, in which we will identify ways to transfer ourfindings to instructional practice

Additionally, one graduate student,not responsible for an example video, also performed an assessment of the videos. Finally, thestudents were required to provide guided self-reflections on their communication skills after theyhad completed their videos and performed and received peer reviews. It has been wellestablished that having students reflect on their own learning can enhance the learning process[6]. Self-reflection questions were chosen to encourage students to be critically reflective of theirown performance and consider how to improve their performance for future video submissions.Here are the

Forinstance, students may complete a metacognitive memo to reflect on the strategies used for aproblem solving activity. The overall process of engaging in their self-directed learning includesorganizing and documenting their learning as it happens, reflecting on the learning and learningprocesses on a frequent basis, making qualitative judgments on the quality of the learning, andthen making regulative changes to their learning strategies based on their judgments.MethodsParticipants and Procedure.

Whileability to reflect on the context of engineering solutions is associated with their success in theprofession [9], training students to do this—and doing so in ways that are well-integrated into therest of a course—is by no means easy. As historian Atushi Akera has pointed out, althoughcurrent ABET criteria would ideally be considered a space for supporting educationalinnovation, these criteria are often just another set of requirements that educators must developstrategies to meet [10].

What can you do to learn better?” helped students reflect on theirlearning behaviors, and in many cases, improved their experience throughout the course. Thisstrategy provided an opportunity for students to take more responsibility for their learning andvoice their feedback about the course. The assessments also helped the faculty member improvethe course in real time. With this approach, the instructor also identified a number of learningbottlenecks, where a significant number of students were having problems.
