learning.Lastly, discussions between Kerestes and Dolloff have led to the feeling that it is difficult todeliver and assess assignments based on smart grid technology. Many of the technologies arenot yet commercialized nor have even been realized. Therefore, a good component to add tothe course would be in-class discussions based on new and emerging smart grid technologies.Kerestes would assign either readings or videos on new distribution-level smart gridtechnologies and have a discussion on them in class. Based on this discussion, students wouldbe assigned to write reflective papers for assessment. In these reflections, student would haveto consider ethics, sustainability, economics and global impact.

On one hand, self-assessment is a process of enabling students to: become “more critical and perceptive” in theirlearning, make personal judgments on their learning outcomes and academic activities, andexperience “holistic development” [13], [14], [15], [16]. Goal-setting activities and self-reflection performance are part of an overall process where the ultimate goal is to “grow oneself”and fuel future learning needs by examining individual performance, monitoring and evaluatingthinking and behavior, and finding strategic ways to improve understanding [5], [17], [18], [19].Self-assessment can also be specifically viewed as the ability of a student to reliably evaluateone’s own work and to complete tasks such as

Each student also kept a daily log and the group prepared a final reportthat included a particular tables field product manual.

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.

Based on this feedback a more formal assessment of how the course impacts thestudent’s interest is needed. The main goal of the course is to help students realize the potential areasthat their engineering degrees could be used. To work towards the impact of the course and obtainstatistical assessment, a survey will be developed following based on an intrinsic MotivationInventory (IMI). Questions will be created that ask the students to reflect on how each emphasis areahas impacted their interest on the topics discussed.

within a specific discipline. No matter which instrumentresearchers have adopted, measures of the multidimensional framework have been problematicin terms of validity and reliability. For example, some of the theoretical factors were notidentified in some studies [8], [9], and some researchers have found the factor structures are hardto duplicate in replicated studies [10]. Therefore, existing instruments may be inadequate to capture the representations ofengineering students’ domain-specific epistemic beliefs. The first explanation of theseassessment-issues is the predefined meanings within the questionnaires [11]. Although one mayargue that the theorized meanings reflect the overarching framework of key components ofepistemic beliefs

Seniors were selected since the study focuseson undergraduate education and seniors would presumably be in the best position to reflect ontheir educational experiences from initial entry into engineering up to the final undergraduateyear. A Qualtrics survey instrument was developed that probed: 1) self-perception of the extentto which the student had any characteristics of each MI; 2) the student’s perception

Thefirst lab project consists of programming Lego EV3 robots using Simulink (MATLAB) software.The robots are programmed to use a reflected light sensor to autonomously traverse a path. Inaddition to travelling the path, students will need to locate, lift, and transport a load to aprescribed location. Each team of students will have created their own robot and code tocomplete the task assigned. The second lab project involves a choice of five projects. Theseprojects are the solar car project, cell phone application design, the 3D printing project (Figure1), heat exchanger design, and an industry-sponsored project.
