Ourlearning scientists did not restrict the professors’ teaching style or their questionnaireadministration techniques. Other than the IRB requirements, we let the professors practice theirown style in their classrooms. Fortunately, we have planned collecting both control andexperimental student data from each participating institution that will allow us to identify thecampus differences (using the institutions as co-variance) and control if marginal differences areobserved.Mutual Engagement and Evolved GoalsEach professor sustained participation in this study through weekly meetings in the

Learningdelimiter at 3.0 or a grade of B-. Rating descriptors that are now available were developedthrough intense interaction between field expert professors that continued until all were satisfiedwith the definitions.The rubric scores were designed and corroborated to be more descriptive of learner cognitionthan a single grade or score and hence more useful in future formative interventions. We aim totake these results into consideration when designing learning experience and assessment forfuture classes. Also we plan to modify this rubric using the same dimensions for other coursesfor which the dimensions adequately describe cognition. Page 25.441.15

We close (inSections 5 and 6) with a discussion of the implications of our results, limitations of the study,and planned future work based on our findings.2. Background and Literature ReviewWith the increasing complexity of engineering problems, there are very few problems we cansolve alone. As a result, understanding cognitive diversity and how it affects particularengineering artifacts is important within the context of engineering education.7 Concept mappingis a tool used in many fields, including engineering

Of course, the learning objectives must bemeasureable actions that students are able to perform as a result of the educational module. Forexample, in the author’s recent research the learning objective was for participants to be able toidentify the safety hazards in planned construction environments. Throughout the longitudinalexperiment, the assessment variable remained constant and standard; however, the context of theassignment or the problem to be solved must change. For example during

Design was also mentioned to be a vehicleto enhance other skills such as teamwork, communication skills, persistence and planning a largeproject in stages. Instructors who teach design were explicitly asked to comment on the role ofdesign in engineering science vs. in other, more traditional engineering programs. No

The relatively small subfield of trauma-informed pedagogy has risen to the fore over thepast year, and research in this area suggests that students who have experienced (or who may becurrently experiencing) trauma(s) will likely struggle not only with time management, but morebroadly with related executive-functions such as planning and problem-solving [10], [11].

We also plan to survey wider, more diverse populations of learners beyond engineeringand art classes, to look for differences in self-efficacy. Expanding the target educational level topostsecondary and professional learners would provide additional validity evidence for the use ofthis DSEI across many learning settings. Future directions may expand the DSEI more generally toany researchers interested in measuring drawing self-efficacy, whether using digital drawing

For example,Fruchter defines teamwork, in the context of (building) design, as a process - rather than acompetency - of reaching a shared understanding of relevant knowledge domains, the object beingdesigned and built, the design process itself, and the commitments it engenders [26]. Hirsch andMcKenna consider a variety of elements as part of teamwork, like conflict management,communication, leadership, and project management [21]. Teamwork is among the ABET learningoutcomes for engineering programs and is defined as “an ability to function effectively on a teamwhose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment,establish goals, plan

Theengineering-as-lifestyle perspective is differently shaded here, when compared to the unalloyedversions from Max and Jake, but our interpretation is that it is the same basic belief about theleading value of engineering—that it provides for a high salary and a comfortable lifestyle.

goal is tointroduce students to the Engineering Method, this is accomplished by focusing on six courseobjectives: self-regulation, communication, working cooperatively and collaboratively, problemsolving, modeling, and quality. The “Modeling” section initiates students in the process ofengineering modeling, using several software including spreadsheets. “Concepts” introducestudents to the engineering design process, problem-solving techniques, working in teams,engineering as a profession, and planning for success that students then apply in “Laboratory” ontwo actual design projects. The “Concepts” section uses quizzes given in nearly every session toascertain whether students have understood the material in their pre-class reading
