of novice teachers’ epistemological framing ofengineering learning and teaching. The inclusion of engineering design at all grade levels in theNext Generation Science Standards calls for efforts to create learning opportunities for teachersto learn to teach engineering. In our research on the role of engineering in elementary teacherpreparation, we ask, what learning goals do new elementary teachers take up when asked to doengineering design themselves, and what learning goals do they establish when setting upengineering design tasks for students?We conducted an interpretive comparative case study with two purposefully selected cases,chosen to unpack contrasting epistemological framing of engineering.

the Development of Metacognition in Engineering Students in a Problem-Based Learning Program with a Think-Aloud ProtocolThis evidence-based practice paper focuses on how an engineering education program thatpromotes self-regulated learning impacts students’ problem-solving skills. Iron RangeEngineering (IRE) is an innovative, problem-based-learning (PBL) engineering program inVirginia, Minnesota. Throughout the curriculum of this program, students learn about and applymetacognitive skills necessary for self-regulating their learning. For the past several years, wehave been conducting research funded by the National Science Foundation1 to (1) identify themetacognitive skills inherent in self-regulated

This paper provides an overview of the methodologies usedfor the more popular rankings and summarizes their strengths and weaknesses. It examines thecritiques of rankings and league tables to provide appropriate context. The paper then examinesthe issue of how a university (or a college or program) could be assessed in terms of the qualityof its engineering and technology programs. It proposes a set of indicators that could be used toprovide relative measures of quality, not so much for individual

LO training is recommended to continue to beused and expanded if possible to more, if not all, IPRO teams.Hypothesis about overlapping content have been suggested by several sources and therefore it isbelieved that differentiated test scores will be found. Unfortunately, no evidence exists as shownin Tables 6 or 7, so far, that any major or curriculum covers the full LO content of an IPROcourse. Significant gains in a semester are demonstrated in acquisition of project managementknowledge regardless of year or major at least in this first semester of testing but these gains aredue to a poor test instrument BOS Fall 2005 not actual

paper point to the need for fundamental changes in engineeringeducation. The data reveal the importance of understanding human behavior: many of theaspects of engineering practice have evolved to control the incidence of human errors anddifferences in interpretation. Just as students currently gain a rigorous framework of ideas tohelp them think about technical issues and problems, they also need rigorous intellectualtreatment of human behavior. Engineers are human and rely on other people to achieve theirresults: this is fundamental to engineering practice. Relocating the human element to thecentre of engineering practice from its present position at the periphery is an essential pre-requisite to integrate studies of engineering practice in
