adds to this result with a comparison groupat a large public institution with a large proportion of non-engineering students.MethodsThis data set was assembled from demographic information and team assessments in a first-yearengineering and communications course at a highly selective large public university in theMidwest. The teams investigated were teams of four or five students working on open-endeddesign-build-test-report projects in 11 classes over 8 semesters of 4 months each (2011 to 2015).The first-year course at this university offers varying “flavors” (biomedical, aerospace, etc.) withdiffering final projects (Meadows, Fowler, and Hildinger9 provide a more detailed description ofthe philosophy of the course, as well as historical

andEntrepreneurial Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Prior to startingmy Ph.D., I worked in the aerospace industry for eight years as a systems engineer. During myfirst five years in industry, I completed a master’s degree in electrical engineering at Iowa StateUniversity via their distance education program. Through both of my graduate degrees, I learnedthat having realistic goals, good advisors, and effective time management were keys to mysuccess.PurposeI decided to write this paper because I learned quite a bit outside of classes and research duringboth of my graduate degrees. I used a variety of resources that I found useful. However, not all ofthese resources were easy to find. In this paper, I will consolidate these
toperform lifting tasks to transfer and care for patients. In fact, the aging population of BabyBoomers and increased life expectancy may have a significant impact on this portion of theworkforce and the ergonomic issues involved.10According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics,3 Industrial engineers held about 241,100 jobs in2014. The industries that employed the most industrial engineers were as follows: • Computer and electronic product manufacturing 13% • Machinery manufacturing 9 • Aerospace product and parts manufacturing 8 • Motor vehicle parts manufacturing 6 • Engineering services

Data Collections/Analysis Quantitative data were collected through a SRL survey instrument called EngineeringDesign Metacognitive Questionnaire (EDMQ).17 The instrument development is grounded inButler and Cartier’s self-regulated learning (SRL) model which describes the interplay betweenmotivation, cognition, and metacognition within academic activities such as design. Thequestionnaire is adapted from their work, including the Inquiry Learning Questionnaire and theLearning through Reading Questionnaire.18, 19 A rubric matrix combined Butler and Cartier’sSRL features (i.e., Task Interpretation, Planning Strategies, Cognitive Actions, Monitoring
