engineering, particularly for ill-defined engineering problems where thebeginning of the modeling process requires an engineer to make assumptions (e.g. modeling anoddly-shaped beam as a prismatic rectangle) and discretize elements (e.g. modeling theindividual forces of people on a bridge as a distributed load over the entire span) to simplify theproblem. Making assumptions and discretizing elements are part of engineering judgment [1].Engineering judgment is defined as “judgment to make a final call on the reasonableness of theanalysis or design” (p.287, [1]). In practice, engineering judgment can be equated to expertise,which is developed as an engineer spends more time in the profession.This study is part of a larger project studying students

[17] suggested that course environments mediate these relationships between studentinteractions and performance. Although researchers [18] have found that student onlineinteractions correlate positively to student course performance in a small (40 students,) f2f,project-based, engineering course, a need exists to understand the potentially uniquerelationships that exist between student interactions and student performance in the context oflarge, f2f engineering courses.Interaction Types and FrequencyAmong small groups of engineering students, Zhu and Zhang [19] found that network densitywas positively correlated to team

Interactive instruction: An activity must involve the collective construction of knowledge; students' interactions create that construction. The items for this subscale include group activities performed during class, such as solving problems, hands-on activities, and group discussions; or outside the classroom, such as completing homework, working on a project, and studying outside of class.2. Constructive instruction: Promotes behaviors in "which learners generate or produce additional externalized outputs or products beyond what was provided in the learning material" [15].

Specifically, we noted that reflection on experience canbe framed as an intentional and dialectical thinking process where an individual revisits featuresof an experience with which he/she is aware and uses one or more lenses in order to assignmeaning(s) to the experience that can guide future action (and thus future experience).Experiences: Since reflection on experience clearly involves experience, a useful area ofinvestigation is to consider the range of experiences that students currently have. It is natural tobe drawn to thinking about student experiences such as large-scale projects, co-op opportunities,and internship opportunities. What is possible to overlook is
