Inexplaining the importance of metacognition to critical reading, Baker and Brown state that“effective learning requires an active monitoring of one’s own cognitive activities” [6]. Acrossthe various descriptions of metacognition, the recurring theme is of learners being consciouslyaware of, and taking responsibility for, their learning. Vos and de Graff argue that active learningin engineering (ALE) experiences like project work and problem-based learning, e.g., theactivities we undertake in engineering capstone design courses, require clear developmentalobjectives [7

The accreditation requirements ensure that sustainability is addressed in specificdiscipline-based units, and to a greater extent, in the capstone unit. Barriers, however, occur inboth cases because sustainability considerations are not scaffolded. The cross-case analysisalso shows that while project-based environments were the most common type of educationalresponses implemented to strengthen students’ sustainability-based knowledge and skills,findings suggested projects do not always encourage the same complexity of problems and,consequently, do not generate the same level of learning outcomes.

During the debrief for each vignette, the Observers led the discussion by sharing what they saw that promoted psychological safety and what they saw that hindered or removed it.Methods: This project was predicated on the research question: Does teaching psychological safety improve teaming experiences for first-year students?

They found that in order for students toconsider a stakeholder interaction as “useful,” the students would either predefine clear goals forthe interaction, only interact with stakeholders whose expertise closely-aligned to their project, orgive control of the decisions to the stakeholder entirely. Information variability and interpretationand application of that information are a key part of engaging stakeholders that is avoided by thesestrategies.

They can provide different viewpoints and explain careerpaths that may or may not require a license.The study results indicate that licensure laws and rules should be presented to students. In manyways licensure should be coupled with ethics instruction. Ultimately, licensure is intended toprotect the health, safety, and
