would not traditionally be considered engineering. The instructors who developedthese profiles felt that it was important to showcase this range of jobs to students to help themunderstand that the skills learned while studying engineering can be useful even in what wouldbe considered a non-engineering career and that career shifts are not unusual.To compile each profile, each person whose job was featured was asked to provide as much ofthe following information as they were willing to share: 1. Name and Job Title 2. Description of employer 3. Type of engineering degree(s) 4. Description of a typical day at work 5. What type of skills are important for the job? 6.

beliefs about the nature of knowledge (simplicity and certainty of knowledge) andprocesses of knowing (sources of knowing and justification). Many studies using themultidimensional frameworks are quantitative in nature.More recently, situation and context-specific models of epistemic cognition have emerged. Thesemodels suggest that an individual’s epistemic cognition is dependent on situational factors, suchas interest and time. One example of a situation and context-specific model is Chinn et al.’s [4]AIR Model of epistemic cognition, which places an emphasis on an individual’s aim for a taskand the processes used to achieve this aim.Each type of model for epistemic cognition is marked by different underlying theoreticalassumptions and

The goalof the game is to assist students in developing engineering intuition on how truss structuresbehave when subjected to loads. The software tool is based on finite strain theory that enablesthe user to visual material and geometric nonlinearities and dynamic movement of failedstructure. Users play the game by positioning bars and joints to construct a truss structure that isable to support an external mass and the weight of the truss structure itself. The structure theplayer builds must consist of joints and bars, where the bars are connected via the joints. Theplayers win nut(s) based the
rules early, guiding members to note their thoughts in the “parking lot,” adhering to these practices, and coming back to review tabled issues were key. • Pay attention to facilitation and process implementation. Communicating clear goals and objectives and sharing a detailed agenda that outlined the process and expectations ahead of time helped everyone start on the same page. Flexibility in the process is needed when additional relevant issues emerge. Use facilitation practices to leverage members’ expertise and skills to keep the entire group on track and help each other.ReferencesAmbrose, S., Bridges, M.W., DiPietro, M., Lovett, M.C., & Norman, M.K.

). Students use knowledge of MATLAB taught in the lectureportion of the course to design a game. Students choose one or more games from a provided listto design or invent their own. Each game carried a point value and students could exceed thepoint requirements for extra credit. Students then conducted two user interviews to determinerequirements for the game and created a team working agreement. Before coding began, studentscreated a flowchart, algorithm, or pseudocode draft. Students then coded their chosen game(s).Additionally, students created a project notebook including a project schedule, business plan,advertisement, and project pitch video. Software documentation was also prepared including auser manual. Students were given multiple class

Pedagogy AbstractThe purpose of this work-in-progress (WIP) paper is to report on an ongoing study that used Chiand Wylie (2014)’s Interactive, Constructive, Active, and Passive (ICAP) framework (I > C > A> P) to survey the degree to which LC-DLMs foster cognitive engagement as students learn abouta venturi meter in a fluid mechanics and heat transfer course. Fredricks, Blumenfeld, and Paris(2004) define cognitive engagement as the effort students invest in understanding what they arelearning. Indeed, cognitive engagement is critical for effective teaching and learning inengineering.
