Exam that high school students takewhen applying to colleges. The test is based on the College and Career Readiness Standards(CCRS), a set of skills and knowledge elements that students need to master to become ready forcollege and post-high school careers. One section of the test is based on the CCRS mathematicsstandards, which includes skills such as identifying a digit’s place value and ordering fractions.The test has sixty multiple choice mathematics questions. The assessment consists ofdetermining the number of questions that the student has answered correctly and then rescalingthe number so that it ranges between 1 and 36, with 36 being the highest score. The result is thestudent’s ACT mathematics score, which can then be compared to
inquiry-oriented engineering design modules and student STEM attitudes and beliefs.

The "value" question was not asked in FA11 while in FA13 theadministration of the instrument was marred by clerical errors: lack of data for these cases isindicated by a "-" in the corresponding cell. Likert scale range and direction were both changedover the years of data collection; the responses below have been scaled to 1.0 and adjusted sothat 1.0 would be the most desirable score.

, she provided an assortment of examples, all of which were undoubtedlymorphemes – and so the concept was established in the minds of the listeners- including me,who had not hitherto encountered it. Then she quickly tabled a set of examples, all of whichwere not morphemes, although a little earlier I might have classified, while I was stilluncertain about what a morpheme is. Thus the concept was yet concreted in the minds of thelearners like me in the audience, as it had been in the research study. As her next step, and inrefinement of our understanding, she gave us some borderline examples of morphemes andno more, and finally, other borderline examples which were marginally not morphemes.

self-learning is a slow process to master. It needs to be demonstrated and reinforced, many times. The signals and system course and the dynamic systems course did not show the same grade distribution results as the circuit course when comparing grades between the flipped and traditional classrooms. The simple reason may be that these courses, while very similar to the circuit course in many respects, provided richer resources in the flipped implementation. In both of these two other courses the resources included videos with the normal complement of verbal material found in a live lecture. A flipped classroom potentially isn’t for everyone (students). People have a variety of styles that are both inherent and

aims to understand effects of a SRL workshop/intervention, framed by the StudyCycle, on IE students’ SRL strategy use in an IE course.Self-regulated LearningAt a symposium at the 1986 American Educational Research Association (AERA) annualmeeting, a group of researchers agreed on a definition of SRL combining three aspects ofcognitive and affective domains that help students achieve their academic goals: motivation,metacognition, and self-directed action20. Later, Zimmerman and Schunk coined the phrase“masters of their own learning” to describe students who practice SRL techniques21. Self-regulated learners are seen to have high motivation in terms of self-efficacy and intrinsic taskattributions22. Metacognitive strategies used by self

IntroductionEngineering capstone design projects are intended to provide a culminating experience forseniors where they solve a complex, open-ended design challenge that requires the integration ofmany of the engineering concepts mastered over their undergraduate careers. The students are intheir final year of study and are preparing to transition out to the workforce, graduate studies, orto the military or public service.According to the 2005 comprehensive national survey of capstone design programs conducted byHowe[1], 98% of the 444 engineering programs at the 262 responding institutions (representingabout 26% of all programs) included capstone projects as

having to achieve, they are protected from failure. There is no punishment for not achieving…. By protecting people from risk we destroy their self-esteem. We rob them of the opportunity to become strong competent people. Facing risk is the only way we gain confidence, because confidence is the result of mastering challenge. Confidence is an internal state. It cannot be given, it can only be earned… thus, too little anxiety is destructive. It deprives people of the experiences that create confidence.
