they have enough knowledge (i.e., declarative,procedural, and conditional knowledge) to respond to such task. Self-appraisal includes“judgments about one’s personal cognitive abilities, task factors that influence cognitivedifficulty or cognitive strategies that may facilitate or impede performance.”4, p. 17 Self-appraisal has a motivational aspect. Students’ motivational components, such as Page 14.1089.3intrinsic goal orientation, self-efficacy, task value, and learning beliefs play an important role inself-directed learning. In this study, the self-appraisal aspect was identified by students’ self-confidence and self-efficacy to

Dispersal of Project Content Focus in Selected ME310 Projects (1979, 1999, 2006)Map to Current ME310 Course Content FocusMechanical Engineering 310 is a master’s level course at Stanford University in mechanicalengineering and design. Students are set up in teams and spend the school year, over threequarters, attacking a problem supplied by industry, having the freedom of time, money ($15K)and plenty of self-efficacy. Many students have had design classes their senior year but ME310serves as a Capstone Plus course wherein rather than learning through a problem-based learningenvironment, the students are in a product

followedby awareness building and longer-term goal setting. Page 14.949.2In the previous paper we reported on results from the Freshman Year implementation. Theresults revealed some interesting correlation of poorer performance in the design courses andlower self efficacy with lack of experience prior to college on teams, either in school or extra-curricular. We also showed some support for the use of peer assessment in teaming evaluation inthe early design courses. In this paper we describe the further evolution of the teaming threadinto the Sophomore Year along with the inclusion of self awareness building and personal goalsetting as contributors

is to be in an environment where they can interact with like-minded peers. Saturday talent development programs can be an alternative strategy for children who needmore advanced content in a specific field. Children are usually taken to programs outside ofregular schools, such as university summer camps and Saturday talent development classes.These types of programming offer several benefits to students, such as exposure to advancedcontent in diverse subject areas, highly qualified instructors, and interaction with like-abilitypeers in a learning environment where the students feel safe to be themselves7. Special talentdevelopment programs can also provide affective gains in participants’ self-esteem, self-efficacy,and academic motivation
