The evaluation plan included surveysconducted with the students before and after their time in the program and focus group sessionsconducted with the students and interviews with their faculty mentors. The evaluation plan alsoincludes follow-up surveys with the participating undergraduate students one year after theircompletion of the program. The quantitative data collection (pretest, posttest) was conducted bythe University of Nebraska-Lincoln Office of Graduate Studies and the results were sent to theMERC for analysis and reporting.

that 52 percent of the supervisorsviewed the writing preparation of early career engineers as weak. This paper investigates a model for larger engineering departments that differssignificantly from the two common ones discussed above. This third model consists of a full-fledged writing course embedded within a large engineering design course that has 150 – 200students each semester. While small departments have attempted similar integrations with fewerthan 50 students [7, 8], this paper presents the second year of an experiment to do so at a largerscale with currently 75 students in the writing course and plans to scale to more than 100. Oneexample in the literature of such an effort has occurred at MIT [9]. Although this courseprovided

The difference is that novices tend to use more representationsand switch between them more often. Experts tend to use fewer representations and solve theproblem in a more straightforward way. This work will focus on the first representations used byexperts and novices.Previous work has been done in starting design problems. Yang et. al. studied the relationshipbetween early stage design activity and design outcome. Aspects of design such as sketching,dimensioned drawings, prototyping, designer experience, and time spent were correlated withdesign success [5] [6]. It was

The instructor observedthat a disconnect exists in his course between learning about the various project managementtools and techniques and how these are applied in engineering technology professions underconstraints such as cost, quality, safety, etc. Although the students learn how to create schedules,budgets, and risk management plans, they never learn if these management plans work becausethey don't get the opportunity to implement them. This type of exercise could be described ashalf learning. In order to close this gap, an innovative instructional module based on ProjectBased Virtual Simulation Tool was developed and implemented.

Planning involves actions taken to help the learnerplan out their learning and cognitive tasks. Planning encompasses everything from gatheringappropriate resources to creating a time schedule for learning to the selection of a specificenvironment used for learning. Monitoring involves all actions that are used to determine if thecognitive task engaged in is on track to meet the intended goal. Monitoring can involve (but isnot limited to) checking progress on a particular task, checking understanding on a particularconcept, and checking that the procedure currently being used will reach the intended outcome.When a monitoring
