Somerecruiters place a strong emphasis on the fact that they have multiple accreditations; one foreach engineering discipline in their school. Data do not support that this makes any difference inrecruiting. Not being ABET accredited creates a negative situation, but any form of ABETaccreditation removes the negative and does not create a differentiating positive. A second positive stimulus is the recruiting and placement of graduates into engineeringgraduate level programs. Universities find it advantageous to have a list of students that havegraduated with a masters or doctoral degree or are currently enrolled in these programs

However, the transition from mastering the fundamentals ofintroductory courses to the open-ended world of engineering design can be challenging tostudents. Students frequently want to fall back on the methods they have used in previouscourses, for example looking for “the equation” that will provide a solution. Old ways of solvingproblems may not lead to sound engineering designs, suggesting that students need to beencouraged to develop new skills when approaching a design problem

The paper highlights areas in engineeringmodeling and design courses in which the student self-efficacy can be measured through pre- andpost course surveys. The results from the surveys can be analyzed to plan any remedial actions.To help engineering educators, a survey instrument is also proposed that can be used to measureself-efficacy on an eleven-point likert scale.

It has Bluetoothcommunications which allow a master unit to communicate with up to three secondary NXTunits, and features 4 input ports and 3 output ports. Users can also access the inbuilt push-buttons and on-board loudspeaker.

The Four Pillars of Knowledgerepresent the progression of learning—factual, conceptual, procedural, and metacognitive. Themetacognitive pillar is the most advanced of the four and can be defined as “learning to learn.” Thismeans that a student is aware of his own personal learning skills, habits, and performance. Assessmentcan be represented by a feedback loop, as seen in Figure 2.

The second,but less obvious, function is to understand the student learning process so that I can, in turn,teach in a much more effective manner. While I have only just begun my journey towardsattempting to master both functions, I have come to realize that I have the strongest impact onmy students when I am able to demonstrate the practicality of what I am teaching. I have learnedthat I must actively engage my students in the learning process by having them do andexperience what I am teaching.

The Monmouth facultydeveloped a program and received approval to offer a BSSE program in 1999. The program wasinitiated in 2000 with its first freshman class.
