The idea of keeping science notebooks in K-12classrooms was energized with the publication of the El Centro data [7], which showed thatkeeping notebooks as a part of inquiry-based science instruction had a strong positive impact onstudents’ writing and language skills. More recent literature has looked at the impacts ofengineering notebooks on students’ discourse [9].Because of this emphasis on notebooks in the K-12 classroom and that notebooks are anembedded professional practice of both scientists and engineering, the Grand Challenges forEngineering

This hypothesis was tested in a controlled experiment at Harvey-MuddCollege, a small, STEM-focused liberal arts college. The introductory engineering course at thecollege teaches discipline-agnostic, mathematical modeling of engineering systems using aflipped classroom with tightly coupled laboratory sessions. Approximately half of the studentsin the laboratory sections received treatment lab manuals with many interactive questions, whilethe other half received control lab manuals that contained fewer questions.

[1].Along with class time schedules packed with lectures, laboratories, and tutorials, there are asignificant number of course assignments that occur outside of class, such as team-basedprojects and experiential learning tasks [1]. Researchers have encouraged the incorporationof these constructivist approaches into engineering education [2], aiming to help studentsdevelop a wide range of abilities (such as complex-problem solving skills andinterdisciplinary thinking [3]). However, this increasing number of assignments stressesstudents [4], [5], negatively affecting their learning results [1], [6].To understand what students define as a demanding course, several researchers haveexplored the concepts of academic workload and course difficulty

A capstone design course requires senior-levelstudents to apply knowledge gained from previous engineering science, design and laboratorycoursework in accomplishing an extended design task. It is the hope of any engineeringinstructor that the capstone design sequence facilitates the student’s transition from an academicto an industrial environment. The capstone design course sequence also provides an opportunityto teach and allow students to apply some important topics not covered in traditional engineeringscience or laboratory courses, such as ethics, teaming, technical
