They analyzed the current system for treaty verification, setobjectives for improving it (e.g., reducing the time needed to send messages related toverification), designed a new system, and tested a prototype. Out of this project came an in-depthreport to the client (86 pages), a journal article (co-authored by the students, the faculty advisors,and the client advisor), an oral presentation on the project to a capstone conference, and individualsenior theses. In doing these tasks, the students had to master political, scientific, and technicalaspects of treaty verification, analyze areas of potential improvement, develop a new system, testit, and convey their

As an industry professional, this is the first thing I have to teach a new engineer, right out of school. ● All of the sub-topics apply. Students need to understand the path from raw material to finished goods. This applies to metals, composites, plastics, etc. They don't need to master these topics but need to be aware of all the steps required to connect the links in the chain.

In an academic context, students feel competent whenthey master a body of knowledge, enjoy autonomy when they control their learning, achieverelatedness when they belong to a community, and gain a sense of purpose when the learningobjectives of a course align with their personal values or goals.

THE COURSES CONTEXTThe two graduate courses where we experimented with reflection are Software Testing (ST)and Software Quality Assurance (SQA). They are both part of a group of several softwareengineering courses regularly offered by the Master of Science Program in Computer andInformation Science at our university, as shown in Table 1. They are 4-credit-hour courseseach, with 64 hours of class time in a 16-week semester, and a 2-credit-hour co-requisite labcourse where students put theory into

rate in this course by adapting to the needsof individual students. Such tools could be used in a wide variety of ways to supplement eithertraditional lecture methods or various interactive learning strategies.The difficulties students encounter while mastering basic linear circuit analysis, in our opinion,often result from a failure to incorporate sufficient active and/or cooperative learning activities inthe course, a lack of immediate and effective feedback in homework assignments, and aninsufficient number of textbook examples designed to gradually increase in difficulty. Also,errors are sometimes present in textbooks in the worked examples, the problem answers, and theworked solutions, in our experience, as a result of the complexity of

While we have yet to investigate this result indetail, we offer several conjectures. First, high levels of adaptiveness might not necessarily provethat students have greater ability to master the content knowledge covered in their classes, or thatadaptive students put forth the time and effort necessary to excel in their classes. Anotherpossibility is that students with both lower GPAs and lower AE scores would be inclined to transferout of BME because the low GPAs violated their more goal-orientated learning goals. In thisscenario, students with low GPAs but high levels of adaptiveness are less
