Military Academy. The lead authorundertook this study during the summer between his second and third year of undergraduatemechanical engineering education. This study of student development arose midway through thecourse of the independent design project, during a meeting between the lead author and the advisor.The advisor suggested that the author’s rich expression of individual development should berecorded and reflected upon. Chief among this theme of individual development was the author’sfrustration with the gap between his performance, his ability, and his ambitions. His academicperformance had yielded a top 40% ranking among his peers, while his tested academic aptitudewas within the top 3%. Research in Engineering Education has

The autoethnographic studyincludes analysis of interviews conducted at the beginning, middle, and end of the professionaldevelopment experience and weekly reflective journals to identify significant interactions thatinfluenced my construction, negotiation, or rejection of professional identities. In addition, thepaper discusses how my identity development through this experience has informed mydissertation direction for degree completion. This study intends to highlight the benefits ofprofessional development opportunities through avenues beyond coursework and researchprojects to encourage

These groupprojects simulate the relationships between business partners, consumers, and design engineers.This course was implemented at the start of the 2017 Fall Semester and data collection for thisresearch document was initiated during the 2018 Fall Semester.ProjectsCurrently, the Foundations of Engineering Lab course houses several different project types:Robotics, Fuel Cell, Remote Sensing, Microscope, Speaker, App and Garden projects. Mostengineering disciplines are loosely reflected by at least one of these projects, with the exceptionof medical-related engineering majors. Students choose a project similar to their

The NOEinstrument will be distributed to the Vietnamese faculty when they sign the consent form.Participants will have ample time to complete the written questionnaire. This will allowparticipants to reflect on their NOE views in-depth and relate the responses to their current workexperiences. After receiving the written responses, we will conduct a follow-up interview withthe participants to elaborate on their written responses to generate as much detail as possible ontheir NOE views. All NOE items will be used in conjunction with individual follow-upinterviews with

of metacognition is critical to learning, especially in engineeringwhere the focus is on problem solving and the learning of inherently difficult conceptual material[6, 23].Epistemic metacognitionThroughout the study of epistemic cognition many researchers have included aspects ofmetacognition [2, 24, 25]. Recent work by Barzilai and Zohar [2, 9] conceptualize epistemicthinking as the combination of epistemic cognition and epistemic metacognition, reflecting thestructure of non-epistemic thinking. Within the epistemic thinking framework, epistemiccognition is conceptualized using situation and context-specific models and epistemicmetacognition includes the dimensions from metacognition reframed to be specific to epistemicmatters.

Figure 1: Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for Aerospace Sophomore ClassroomWhile the initial learning module was geared to help students bridge the gaps of knowledge toassist them through their engineering courses, our team has begun to pivot the direction of themodules. Interviews from students within the department have suggested that lack of diversity inthe engineering field may be the cause of students switching majors. As of now, our team isworking on how to gear the personal learning module questions so that they reflect the needs ofthe students and professors in regards to diversifying the

output a graph that users canread. The components are connected as shown in Figure 1. Asblood flows through the finger, the light reflected off the fingervaries, changing the resistance of the photoresistor. TheArduino then reads an analog voltage from the circuit anddisplays it to a graph (Figure 2). This allows students tovisualize blood moving through the finger, a mechanical way tomeasure cardiovascular activity. During their design process,the students were encouraged to “think like an engineer” andstrive to make a device that was accurate in differentenvironments, easy to use, and comfortable for the patient. Theyalso were able to think fundamentally about how pulse meters inthe medical industry work and what sorts of things

process was extremely useful. With regards to teaching assistants, some of theinsight that we gained were why the students trusted TAs, “I also listened closely to the TAs advicebecause they have been through the class before”,as well as different ways they use TAs within thesame process, “ After that, I asked a TA a questionabout the way I was labeling my coordinate system.… I may also ask a TA to see if my first justificationis logical for this problem.” One student, who hadonly used one of the resources available through thecourse identified flaws in their current problem-solving process through the reflective portion of thesurvey, “I waited way too long to get started, andadapted the basic kinematic equations into verticaland horizontal

to reflect their new priorities.Evaluation: Following the synthesis and analysis tasks, students must use the requirements andpriorities they determined in order to utilize effective study habits. This is known as theevaluation phase. In the synthesis phase, it became apparent that time was a major constraint.Due to this students must be aware of the fact that they should only take on activities and workthey believe they will be able to effectively complete. Taking on too much will not only leadto a decrease in performance across all of the tasks but will also lead to added unnecessarystress. For these reasons, it is vital to the success of the student to create a plan that takes inimportant system requirements and prioritizes work to

informal learning process. Researchsurrounding learning spaces in libraries has emphasized use of collaboration and flexible spaces,but these studies have been conducted to inform space design decisions rather than to assess theimpact of those design decisions [2]. This study aims to fill the gap by investigating theunintended benefits of a new flexible classroom through a post-occupancy space analysis.BackgroundThe way a space is designed is often reflected by its primary usage. Certain aspects of a learningspace, including formal spaces like classrooms and informal spaces like study rooms, includefeatures that indicate that a room should be used in a certain way. These features are oftenreferred to as affordances and define the intended purpose

one works as an Engineer by definition. [Instead] we work as a construction commission. So you don’t work as an engineer, pure engineer. So I don’t feel like [projects] would be beneficial. If the professors keep giving you projects, you’re not going to apply it actually at work. Instead they [could] give you calculations to the problems - that might be helpful.As the above example shows, students in the focus group drew upon their understanding of thenature of the workforce in the region in order to determine the relevance of the project.

papers tocompile a list of possible approaches. Once an approach is decided upon, a reasonable plan isdeveloped to accomplish the goals required for success in the competition. What comprises areasonable plan is determined by the realistic constraints detailed by the ABET definition; theRobosub team must ensure the safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of the robot, and the planfor achievement must reflect these constraints. Then, several months of prototyping, testing, andredesigning occur to produce the best functioning robot possible with the necessary computervision, weapons, navigation, and stabilization systems. This experience cannot be adequatelypresented through simply viewing the steps of the engineering design process
