Zimmermandefines self-regulated learning as “students can be described as self-regulated to the degree thatthey are metacognitively, motivationally, and behaviorally active participants in their ownlearning process.”6 Self-regulated learning is also described as people “[seeking] out informationwhen needed and [taking] the necessary steps to master it.”4 Effective self-regulated learning “is[dependent] upon… the possession and quality of basic learning-to-learn skills” and resources.7Students using self-regulated learning to expand their knowledge may have found their ownpreferred methodologies of learning. Not only are they achieving more knowledge than theirpeers by pursuing more knowledge, they are building their ability to

attention to othermore pressing coursework (a rational allocation of limited student time). When time for the examscame, many students tended to cram – trying to recall and re-master about 30% of the coursecontent in the space of a night or two. Aside from the mental strain of this process, the studentsalso tended to stay up late into the night preparing for these exams, meaning they were tired whenthey took these exams.This was due, in part, to the workload placed on students during the term when they most typicallytake this Strength of Materials course. This course is taken by second-semester sophomorestudents, along with a corequisite laboratory course and an additional 11 engineering credits. Thegeneral purpose of both of the latter course

Overall, we believe thatthis course is helping students to develop basic skills in biomedical product design anddevelopment. Thus far, assessment of learning outcomes has relied on both formal and informalmethods (Powell 2004). Weekly engagement by faculty and student instructors with individualteams provides informal, real-time indications of how well students are mastering projectmanagement and core design tasks. During the semester, students also complete ‘muddiest points’exercises, and perform self-evaluations of their ability to work as a

four elements –mastery approach, performance approach, mastery avoidance, and performance avoidance [20].This paper uses the mastery approach goal that is absolute and positive. A mastery goal is aimedat you becoming a master at something and not becoming a top performer based on someextrinsic measures. So instead of trying to get an “A” in a course on innovation, you innovate inreal life and add value to appropriate stakeholders. This ensures that your satisfaction or self-worth does not depend on external indicators, which may be beyond your control.Locke and Latham have evidences of goals increasing performances in more than 100 differenttasks involving more than 40,000 participants in eight countries while working in laboratory,simulation

Additionally, the concern over a lack of information went from an average of 2.99 to2.05 out of 5, as students now felt better informed, encouraging the faculty team to continue withmore seminars.According to Figure 5, 80% of students had previously discussed graduate school. Meanwhile, asFigure 4 shows, a lack of information was a high-scoring concern. This information will help toinform future discussions and seminars.

please your masters when they are watching. As slaves of Christ, do the will of God with all your heart. Work with enthusiasm, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Ephesians 6:6In these contexts, the term “work” includes the deeper ideals of vocation and calling. “Work” isnot something you must do to survive, but what you get to do, using the gifts, talents, and abilitiesgiven to you for the betterment of mankind.Importance of Character Displayed Through FaithCharacter is an important dimension of an engineer in their work.

Lave (1991) argued that knowledge and skill develop in theprocess-and as an integral part of the process-of becoming like master practitioners within acommunity of practice. She also noted that apprenticeship learning provides learners with abroad view of the material to be learned from the very beginning, and a broad exposure toongoing practice.This work is informed by the definition of knowledge as a product of the activity and situationsin which they are produced, and that concepts continually evolve in the learner’s mind with eachnew instant of practice, and every chance of new practice allows for an opportunity to transferknowledge to new situations (Brown, Collins, & Duguid, 1989, P.33
